00:00Memphis is shopping John Morant.

00:02Yeah, no kidding.

00:03They should have shopped him two years ago and got rid of him.

00:06The problem is, where does he go?

00:09Like, what team is going to sit there and deal with a dude who, A,

00:13has not been healthy or reliable both on the court or off the court?

00:18Like, who's trading for John Morant here, Coach?

00:21Well, here's the thing you're looking at, Joe.

00:23Number one is I think he's missed 40% of his team's games the last three years.

00:27Number two, he has his worst statistical season so far this year.

00:31Number three, he's got suspension issues in regards to guns, acting up, or whatever.

00:37So at this point, you have to think about this.

00:40It is the big star versus getting rid of dysfunction.

00:45You have to look at getting rid of this guy and starting over.

00:49It's either him or Triple J.

00:51And I know Triple J gets hurt a lot too, but I'm going to trust this guy

00:55because at least I know he won't get into legal trouble.

00:58He won't brandish a gun in social media.

01:01Not just once, he did it twice.

01:03So at that end of the day, you move on.

01:06Where?

01:07You got to look at teams, particularly maybe in the West or East,

01:10that could think they need a point guard upgrade.

01:13Number one team to look at, Minnesota.

01:16Mike Connelly is 249 years old.

01:19They could maybe move some guys to get him over there.

01:23I know Ant wants to play with them.

01:25The other team to look at, honestly, is Sacramento, but they're so daggone terrible.

01:31But look at Sacramento.

01:33Sacramento just beat Houston and the Lakers in the last two games.

01:36Maybe Sacramento's figured it out.

01:37Probably not.

01:38But I still think at the end of the day, you have to get rid of them

01:41and go in a different direction.

01:42We'll see you next time.
