Warriors Star Predicts Knicks as Dark Horse for Ja Morant Trade, a Surprising Twist in NBA Shakeup.
Draymond Green's recent comments have sent shockwaves through the NBA, with the Golden State Warriors star predicting that the New York Knicks could be a dark horse candidate to acquire Memphis Grizzlies' star guard Ja Morant. While many had expected the Heat and Kings to be frontrunners for Morant's services, Green's unexpected endorsement has added another layer of complexity to the trade landscape.
Green, known for his astute observations on the NBA, believes that the Knicks could provide a unique opportunity for Morant to shine in the spotlight. "Imagine Ja Morant at Madison Square Garden," he mused. "That's box office." However, Green also acknowledged that Morant would be a question mark in New York, with Jalen Brunson already established as the starting point guard and Josh Hart taking over the position when healthy.
The Knicks' interest in acquiring a star-caliber player has been well-documented, but their focus on Giannis Antetokounmpo seems increasingly unlikely. With the NBA trade deadline approaching in a month, the Knicks don't appear to be aggressive in the market, leaving Morant's future uncertain.
Green's comments have sparked renewed speculation about the Heat's pursuit of Morant, who is rumored to be interested in joining South Florida. The Heat have exceeded early expectations and are sitting eighth in the Eastern Conference with a 21-19 record, making them a more viable option for Morant.
While Green's prediction has generated buzz, it remains to be seen whether the Knicks will make a serious push for Morant. For now, they seem destined for the dark horse category, leaving fans and analysts alike to wonder what could have been if the Grizzlies decide to trade their talented point guard.
