Ja Morant’s latest controversy could lead to a blockbuster trade with the Los Angeles Lakers. The Memphis Grizzlies suspended the star point guard after an incident involving a firearm during a live social media session.

Despite Morant’s apology, the situation puts his future with the Grizzlies at risk. The franchise faces an interesting offseason, considering the possibility of roster changes.

With the decision not to bring back Dillon Brooks, a trade involving Morant could be on the horizon. This move could allow the Grizzlies to rebuild around Jaren Jackson Jr. and other new additions.

After a promising regular season but an early playoff exit, Memphis might seek a fresh start. On the other hand, the Lakers are advancing to the Western Conference Finals, setting the stage for a compelling showdown with the Denver Nuggets.
