A visibly annoyed Ja Morant said, Go ask the coaching staff when asked about what went wrong for him tonight.

Asked what the team could have done better, he said, according to them, probably do not play me, apparently alluding to something that had been said in the locker room after the game.

That would be an interesting trade. Both guys do seem like they need a change of scenery.

The Memphis Grizzlies suspended star point guard Ja Morant for one game because of conduct detrimental to the team.

Seems like Zion is the much better player to me.  Morant still can't shoot.  Morant is too fragile to keep attacking the rim, and he doesn't shoot well enough to play any other way.

Yeah that is my thinking too.

Morant has played almost 100 more NBA games than Zion.

The worrying trend for Morant this season is his stats across the board are down. Given he is not carrying a major injury, I think it speaks to being unhappy with his current situation.

I think both teams would win this trade.
