It’s over! Morant has fallen off a cliff! US media suggests that the Timberwolves trade 4 for 1

Morant missed the Grizzlies' recent 95-131 defeat to the Celtics due to ankle soreness.

Regarding this sudden injury report, netizens think it is more of a trade protection, as follows:

Earlier this month, Morant was accused of behavior detrimental to the interests of the team. (Confronted with coach Isalo) He was suspended for one game by the Grizzlies, and his performance in the five games after his comeback was unbearable. The highest shooting rate was only 35% (7 of 20), and the lowest was only a pitiful 16.7% (3 of 18).

So far this season, Morant has averaged 18.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, 8.1 assists, 4 turnovers and 1.1 steals per game, with three shooting percentages of 35.2%, 16.7% and 95.4%. His scoring average has reached a new low since his rookie season. He is only 26 years old when he should continue to dominate, so why did he suddenly decline like a cliff? Now many people are beginning to miss that confident young man.

Based on Morant's current extremely poor state, and the Grizzlies' current record of 4 wins and 9 losses, which is only ranked 12th in the Western Conference, perhaps the pace of the transaction is getting closer...

Several simulated trade plans have been released. For example, the Grizzlies sent Morant + Pope to the Heat in exchange for Herro and others; the Timberwolves sent Reed + DiVincenzo + Dillingham + a 29-year second-round pick to acquire Morant from the Grizzlies.

By the way, according to famous reporter Siegel, the Clippers, whose lineup is seriously aging, are also one of the teams paying attention to Morant's whereabouts.

Regardless of whether Morant will continue to stay with the Grizzlies in the future or bring his talent to other teams, in order to achieve higher achievements and extend his career, he should improve his shooting level. After all, he is just a small guard less than 1.9 meters tall, and he will not be able to play for a long time just relying on physical fitness.

Morant has been in the NBA for seven years, but his shooting ability has not improved significantly, and there is a trend of regression. So far this season, he has averaged 0.9 shots per game with a 16.7% shooting rate. In terms of three-pointers, he has averaged 1.3 three-pointers per game with a 31% shooting rate so far in his career. Edwards, the star of the potential new team of the Timberwolves, is a good example for him (currently averaging 3.8 three-pointers per game with a 46.2% shooting rate).

What else can you say? I wish Morant still has a chance to catch up with himself who once had high hopes.
