Sudden suspension! Trade Morant as quickly as possible! After losing to the Lakers, there was direct internal strife.

On the first game day of the NBA Cup yesterday, the Lakers in Group B played away against the Grizzlies in Group B. Doncic and Smart returned for the NBA Cup.

The Grizzlies launched a 25-4 offensive climax in the second quarter and once led the Lakers by 15 points. However, with Doncic's outstanding performance, the Lakers finally defeated the Grizzlies 117-112. They got a good start in the NBA Cup and celebrated two consecutive regular season victories, ranking fifth in the Western Conference.

Doncic was in very good shape as soon as he came back. He played for 39 minutes and made 14 of 27 shots, 6 of 15 three-pointers, 10 of 13 free throws, and scored 44 points, 12 rebounds, and 6 assists. It was amazing!

So far this season, Doncic has scored 40+ points in all three games, averaging 45.3 points, 11.7 rebounds, 7.7 assists and 1 steal per game.

Doncic is terrifyingly strong after losing weight. Even if James returns, Doncic is expected to usher in a season averaging 35+ points per game!

Reeves, who performed very crazy in the first few games, moved to the second line after Doncic returned, with a steady output of 21 points, and his game became much easier.

I am optimistic that Reeves will be selected as an All-Star this season.

The Lakers are gaining momentum and the team atmosphere is very good. On the other hand, the Grizzlies are already experiencing internal strife.

Morant was interviewed after the game today and repeatedly replied, "Ask the coaching staff."

"What's wrong with you today?--" Ask the coaching staff. "

"Is there anything you think you could do differently? "--"Ask the coaching staff. "

"You don't look as energetic as before today. "--"Ask the coaching staff. "

"Do you think you should do more? "--"Go and ask the coach if I should do it. "

"In addition to asking the coach, what do you think you can do better to get good results? "--"According to their opinion, I shouldn't play. "

When the Grizzlies management suddenly fired head coach Jenkins at the end of last season, the players were very dissatisfied.

This time Morant opened up the internal strife!

Morant performed very abnormally in the game. He played 31 minutes, 3 of 14, 0 of 6 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and only scored 8 points, 1 rebound and 7 assists. .

Morant's game is explosive, but he is prone to injuries. He has only played 313 regular season games in his career, not counting the 6 games this season. In the previous 6 seasons, Morant only played an average of 51 games per season, which is a very low attendance rate. The most fatal thing is that Morant has been in trouble off the court and has been suspended by the Grizzlies many times. The No. 2 pick in 2019 seems to have lost confidence.

According to Shams, Morant was suspended for one game for behavior detrimental to the interests of the team.

Once the Grizzlies start preparing to trade Morant, the fourth pick in the 2018 first round, Jaren Jackson Jr., will also be sent away and completely enter the rebuilding mode.

Morant's contract still has three years and US$123 million. 3J just signed a five-year, US$240 million contract with the Grizzlies this summer, which expires in the summer of 2030.

Any team that wants to get Morant or 3J will have to pay a big price.

Do you think the Grizzlies still need to build a team around Morant?
