After Ja Morant looked disengaged in the fourth quarter of last Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers, and followed this up by blaming the coaching staff, trade speculation started to heat up. Minnesota Timberwolves fans openly discussed the possibility of trading for the Memphis Grizzlies star. Admittedly, it's a controversial idea among Wolves fans, but something I'm personally on board with.
Regardless, Sam Amick of The Athletic gave the first real update that a Morant-Wolves trade could be in the cards. The well-respected reporter noted that the Wolves and the Sacramento Kings are monitoring the situation while noting the Houston Rockets aren't interested in him.
