Thanks for posting. I love watching him play, but I hope it's more than that. Half the season.

Typical self destructive behavior. Dude needs help and not just an 8 day stint or whatever he did.

Has ESPN already started the 30 for 30 doc on 'the rise and spectacular fall of Ja Morant' yet?

Yep; suspension for the first half of next year's season - you don't cut ties yet.
If he screws up again during the suspension period, then you have further discussion.

He is already damaged goods to a point, so his trade value now can't be what it was prior to all of this gun crap. I think you have to at least consider the possiblity of finding a package for him. Not saying you have to pull the trigger, but I think it should be on the table. Maybe you get a offer that you can't pass up. Who knows.
If he has a 3rd incident then what? At what point does it become a year suspended, league ban, etc? God forbid, what if he shoots someone at some point? Not being dramatic, but serioulsy who really thought we'd have a 2nd gun incident 2 months later? The Griz are between a rock and a hard place with this whole mess.
I'm a old man, what do I know LOL

Say it ain't so Ja
It’s time to cut bait. I hate it b/c he’s a fun player, but he’s not much of a defender and clearly he’s a frickin’ moron. Send him packing before he damages the organization even more.

When my mother passed I inherited the family photos on her side. I was surprised to find pictures of my mother's aunts posing with a revolver. Appears to be the 1950's. I'm not quite sure of the purpose. None were outlaws.

If he damages organizations then who would trade for him? He no more gives the Gizz a black eye than he would for a team who traded for him. No, he won't be traded. He will get suspended for 20 games or so. Then we can all wait until his next stupid move before the league kicks him out, maybe. What he did is a terrible look and all but it doesn't break the law. Many other moronic NBA players have actually broken the law and come back.

Bingo. There is a nice tweet documenting some of the more offensive incidents and the ban lengths that came with it.
