Draymond Green Reveals Dark Horse Ja Morant Trade Destination

All signs are pointing to the fact that Ja Morant is going to be traded in the next few weeks. After reports came out that Morant was not happy anymore in Memphis and the team would look into trade opportunities, everyone is trying to figure out where Morant could land. 

Figuring out what team would want to take on the contract, injury history, and baggage that comes with Morant is hard. At one point, Morant was one of the top stars in the league. Now, some people might even consider him a negative asset. 

Draymond Green recently hypothesized about different potential Morant trade destinations and named a shocking team that he believes could pursue the star guard. 

“So who are the teams that could go after Ja Morant? The Sacramento Kings—I could see that. The Miami Heat? Absolutely. The Toronto Raptors? Possibly. A dark horse I’d throw out is the New York Knicks. I haven’t seen any reports linking them, but imagine Ja Morant at Madison Square Garden. That’s box office. Needless to say, if Ja Morant is traded, whatever team lands him instantly gets better. Make no mistake—when you have that level of talent, your team improves overnight."

Draymond Green certainly isn’t an NBA insider. That doesn’t stop him from using his podcast platform to discuss NBA drama and trade rumors. Do his feelings about the Knicks potentially pursuing Morant have any legs? Probably not. 

The Knicks already have their franchise point guard. They aren’t trading for Morant. That being said, the idea of Morant putting on a show in Madison Square Garden is certainly cool. However, it’s just not going to happen.
