Ja Morant is the last piece of that core left standing.
Pretty soon, Morant might be on his way out, too.
ESPN's Michael C. Wright wrote this line on Morant in a new article after Sunday's NBA Draft lottery:
"Expect that future to be elsewhere."
He went on to explain why it doesn't seem like Morant will remain in Memphis.
"Memphis has already shifted its focus to a new young core that features shooting guardĀ Cedric Coward, forwardĀ Jaylen WellsĀ and centerĀ Zach EdeyĀ and its potential playing inĀ coach Tuomas Isalo's unconventional system," Wright wrote. "At this point, it appears the Grizzlies are just seeking the best deal in a Morant trade, which likely won't be there until after the draft and free agency, when teams in pursuit of stars consider secondary options."
