"Over 11 months ago, Jimmy Butler lost his joy with the Miami Heat. Fast forward to now, and Grizzlies star Ja Morant's lost his joy in Memphis. The two-time All-Star had an interesting postgame exchange with reporters last week after first-year head coach Tuomas Iisalo reportedly challenged his leadership. He was eventually suspended for conduct detrimental to the team. While all indications, as of now, suggest the Memphis Grizzlies aren't looking to move Morant, many have speculated about his future in Memphis."
""I do think it's time for Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies to part ways," Perkins said recently on the Road Trippin' Show. "And I do think there's only one option for Ja - only one direction he needs to go: He needs that Erik Spoelstra, Pat Riley and Miami Heat Culture." "He needs a culture," Anthony said recently on 7PM in Brooklyn."
Ja Morant has visibly lost his joy playing in Memphis after a friction-filled season that included a heated postgame exchange and a suspension for conduct detrimental to the team. Public figures such as Kendrick Perkins and Carmelo Anthony have urged a move to the Miami Heat, arguing Morant would benefit from the Heat's disciplined culture under Erik Spoelstra and Pat Riley. The Heat's roster balance and a recently implemented offensive system raise questions about immediate fit. Miami added Noah LaRoche as an offensive consultant after his work with Memphis, complicating evaluations of Morant's potential integration.
