Morant could actually be the solution to Ingram and Barnes, and I've always liked Clarke. The only thing for me is the spacing - Morant's not the greatest shooter, neither is Barnes, and Poeltl for sure is not.

In the NBA player interviews are extremely important the stakes are high in selecting NBA players. It’s not just determining weather a player will become a future star in the League but you must determine if the player has the maturity and mental heath that won’t cause problems at a latter date. Ja Morant is already on the downside of his career at 25 years old. He has a gang mentality that is wreaking havoc from a Public Relations point of view and the Grizzlies want a divorce from, this player.
There is a big difference when having a GHA, Anthony Davis Kevin Durant prime, LeBron James prime, Seth Curry prime, Jason Tatum and Giannis Anteokounmpo on your team than having Jo Morrant we are even seeing red flags with Anthony Edwards.
We saw the concerns the Dallas Mavericks had with Luca Doncic not as a person just worrying about his ability to live a healthy lifestyle and keep himself healthy as he transitions from a youthful player to a player heading towards 30 years old. We saw Lucic struggling to get up and down the court as a 25 years old old seeming to have weight issues
So the Raptors wound never trade for Morrant and his mental health issues.
