The first team of the new season to have internal strife! The generals are at odds with each other, and the boss is starting to mess up!

The new season has started about 10 games. Which team's performance has disappointed you the most?

Nets, Wizards, Pacers? No, their difference is expected.

Pelican? The main reason is that Zion always calls in sick, which is really useless.

Lone Ranger? Clippers? It seems so.

But since there are so many people discussing between these two teams, "ship sinking" has become the main theme these two days, so we won't join in the fun.

The performance of another Western Conference team also disappointed fans.

And, they are currently the popular team that may make the first move in the trade...

Yes, the Grizzlies.

They lost 5 of the last 6 games. The only victory among them was thanks to the suffering brothers and sisters in the West, the Lone Ranger, who gave them winter warmth.

We are definitely not saying these things because the Grizzlies lost to the Thunder today.

You will find that their problem is not losing to the defending champion at all. Apart from the Trail Blazers, who does not lose to the Thunder this season?

Grizzly bear, people’s hearts are scattered.

The "gun king" seems to have lost his desire to play basketball and loses the energy to refuse to accept anyone.

I stretched my hips today, and 3 out of 18 is just a microcosm.

In the past five games, Morant averaged 33.1 minutes per game, 15.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 9.2 assists, shooting 27.6% from the field, and 10.1% from three-point range. The Grizzlies had 1 win and 4 losses.

He was also suspended for one game by the team.

Is Morant at this level? impossible.

Then why is it so bad? The conflict with the head coach is obvious.

After the Grizzlies lost to the Lakers, Morant scored only 8 points on 3 of 14 shots. He scored zero points in the second half and refused to participate in tactical discussions during the timeout.

When faced with all questions, he answered "Ask the coaching staff" and said, "According to their wishes, I shouldn't play."

"What's wrong with you today? -" Ask the coaching staff. "

"Is there anything you think you could do differently? ” — “Ask the coaching staff. "

"You don't look as energetic as before today. ” — “Ask the coaching staff. "

"Do you think you should do more? "——"Ask the coach if I should do it. "

"In addition to asking the coach, what do you think you can do better to get good results? "——"According to their opinion, I shouldn't play. "

"Is there anything wrong with your health? "--"I am fine. "

Head coach Isalo questioned Morant's leadership and game commitment in public, and the latter responded with an "inappropriate and contemptuous" tone. The team determined that it was harmful to the interests of the team and was suspended for one game.

There was discussion about the so-called "future basketball" in the media. It was Isalo's so-called "future basketball" system that made Morant dissatisfied...

"Future basketball" is difficult to define and we cannot discuss such complicated things.

In short, the Grizzlies' problem is the conflict between the generals.

During the game against the Rockets, Durant directly said to Mo:

"Your son doesn't want to be here at all. We know this is the last weekend, so enjoy it. "

...

When we look back at the history of the NBA, we can see the cases of conflicts between core players and head coaches. The easing of relationships is basically temporary, and very few can really stay together.

For the Grizzlies, they also need to make a choice between Morant and Isalo.

The "gun king" does not approve of this coach or his staff. Arrangement and tactical deployment.

This is in line with his personality.

If he has been in trouble in the past, it must be an internal problem.

From the perspective of hindsight,

Fig. Omas Isalo is a Finnish basketball coach. He has coached Crailsheim Melins, Telecom Bonn and Paris Basketball Club in Europe, and led the team to win the FIBA Champions League and European Cup championships.

In March 2025, he succeeded Taylor Jenkins as the interim coach of the Grizzlies.

He became a regular head coach in Europe and wanted to hold an NBA team.

The culture is different, and the basketball philosophy is different.

If Isalo emphasizes sharing the ball, running without the ball and limiting the individual play of the stars...

Can Morant stand it? It would be better if he doesn't pay for it.

"If he loses enough, the coach will be dismissed. "

Therefore, it is normal for a rookie head coach to manage the Grizzlies, and there will be internal strife.

Morant's five-year maximum salary contract of over US$197 million has three years left, and his salary per season is US$39.45 million and US$4.21 million respectively. 70,000 US dollars and 44.89 million US dollars.

Next, let’s see how the Grizzlies choose...

Di Ge has a plan:

Let Isalo and Lu guide the exchange of clubs...
