Ja Morant’s blow-up with the Memphis Grizzlies organization appears to be long and painful. He’s on the trade block, that’s for sure. And he’s not going out without making noise in typical Ja-fashion.

The latest incident in the Morant-Grizzlies tiff was a training altercation involving teammate Vince Williams Jr. It sure raised some eyebrows on the internet.
A clip circulating on social media platforms shows Morant going back and forth with the Grizzlies guard during a practice session. And Williams appeared agitated in it.
The words that stood out in the clip most of all were Morant saying, “I don’t f*** with y’all.” No wonder Williams was irked. The 25-year-old was seen repeatedly asking Morant to “go to the back,” something the superstar guard refused to do.
The two stood there arguing over what, quite frankly, appeared to be Morant’s mere presence.
Ja: “I don’t f*ck with y’all, I’m with whatever”
Vince: “Let’s go to the back”
Ja: “Why? I’m right here”
Vince: “Let’s go to the back”
Ja: “You’ve been here for 5 minutes… You’re not like that”

The reason behind their fight will remain unknown unless one of them addresses it. But it just shows that Morant is well and truly done with the Grizzlies, and that the feeling is mutual. He’s currently listed as out, despite any apparent injury.
There have been rumors of teams like the Miami Heat being interested in signing Morant. Although nothing is confirmed yet, Bam Adebayo copied his celebration in the Heat’s victory over the Suns earlier this week, which has made the rumors louder.
Ja’s father, Tee Morant, also joined the rumor bandwagon, posting a picture of Morant guarding Mike Conley. This could mean two things.

Either Morant may be headed to the Minnesota Timberwolves, or he may take the path Conley took — stay at Memphis and become a franchise legend. For now, leaving Memphis looks like the more plausible explanation.
