And that's, if nothing, John Morant and Giannis are those.

So I think one of the ways you can take a shortcut to prognosticating what's about to happen here in two weeks is just like,

Whatever the opposite of greasing the wheels of the trade machine is, is what the current CBA has done.

I don't know if that's pouring sugar in the gasoline tank of the trade machine, but I don't see the John Morant market.

On the court, he's a question mark, particularly on defense and availability wise.

Does he make your team better?

He's one of the worst jump shooters in the league recently.

And then, of course, all the off the court risk, too.

So you don't see a lot of teams signing up for him.

for that i mean i think he could be a great player in this league i don't think you'll find many scouts that disagree with that it's just the amount of risk you have to absorb to take it on is too much for a lot of these teams to bear so when it comes to the memphis trade market it's it's a crazy saga you didn't even mention like the weird like zabruder film they were showing of him

having the on-court interaction in Berlin the day before, getting into it with a teammate.

This is just the John Moran experience right now.

It's the days of our lives version of NBA basketball.

I'm sick of it for a player who, frankly, is one of my favorite ones to watch when he does play like he did in London.

Long story short, I don't think there's a market there for various reasons.

Yeah, he's more compelling as a as a piece in many ways than John Moran is right for a quasi contender to talk themselves into a stretchy big man who can protect the room.

and play well next to other bigs, which I always say with him, he was at his best when Steven Adams was there clogging up the middle and he was able to sort of come and help side like Serge Ibaka and just destroy people with blocked shots.

But he has a very sort of attractive upside.

The other thing I'll say is,

is a lot of people are comparing this to the Trae Young situation with John Morant.
