The Sacramento Kings have already been connected to Ja Morant, but here are three reasons why they shouldn't pursue the All-Star Guard

At his height, Ja Morant was a franchise star who could put the Memphis Grizzlies on his shoulders and carry them where they wanted to go. He was a game-changer, a point guard who could facilitate offense and will his team to victory by elevating the play of those around him.

Ja Morant defers to the coaching staff after a defeat to the Lakers, sparking new trade rumors and scrutiny of the Grizzlies.

There's nothing in the real world to suggest the Timberwolves have interest in Morant, but Wolves president Tim Connelly is a big-game hunter, and Morant fits the description of a big-name player who could be on the trade market.

Ja Morant has frequently courted controversy in recent years, notably through extended suspensions related to gun incidents. The dynamic guard once again drew scrutiny after a heated locker-room exchange with Memphis Grizzlies head coach Tuomas Iisalo following a loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.

As tensions between Ja Morant and the Grizzlies escalate, Warriors star Draymond Green gives an unfiltered take on the fallout.

Other teams are monitoring the situation — and have been for a while — potentially looking to scoop up Morant in a steal of a trade, something Marc Stein wrote about in his Stein Line newsletter.

Recent reports indicate that Ja Morant's ongoing conflict has sparked considerable interest throughout the league regarding his future.
