When Ja Morant said that he wanted to stay in in Memphis, there had been talk for months around the league that Ja Morant wanted to go to Miami at a certain point. Obviously, he was frustrated with not getting a contract extension, frustrated clearly with coach Tuomas Iisalo for a little bit. And that was part of the reason that he got suspended for conduct detrimental to the team. So, I think that was something you had to look at there. And look, I’m sure in an ideal world, maybe he wanted to stay in in Memphis, but the contract extension didn’t come either. He hasn’t been available. He needs to be available more and he needed to play better. His drives have been significantly down over the past two years. His field goal percentage at the rim, beyond the arc, significantly down. That has to improve.
