    Estimated 50 million lost so far in salary, endorsements and bonus so far. I'm sure his first reaction was a silent f-u to silver as in I'm gonna be who I wanna to be. Not who u want me to be. But at this price point, there's no way he can possibly do this again in any sane world.

    Scared to make headlines on a hot botton issue. Probably negotiated with Morrant's side to ensure he doesn't protest and keep making waves to keep ugly PR to minimum. Politics is bad for business and the league seems to lack a young marketable stand out stars at the moment (damn you Zion)

    too much imo... breh said he sorry and that's good enough. breh had to spend a few years with dillon brooks as a teammate and that's punishment enough.

    He blames it on the heavy brain damage that goes in hand with heavy drinking.

    My guess is that he is using every medical excuse he can to reduce the suspension and to try and gain sympathy. It's not working. But if it is true, and he is diagnosed, many NBA careers have been ruined because of addiction. The Rockets have 3 of the top 10. Lloyd, Wiggins, and Lucas. So it's not unprecedented. Personally, I think it's just his ego getting the best of 'em.

    Ja keeps talking about mental heath, but c’mon man…What’s the psychiatric diagnosis for being a dumbass?

    his issue is that he is dumb, impulsive, and addicted to social media

    for some reason he can’t just do something like chill in the car with his boys listening to music without one of the guys streaming it live on social media, and he is dumb enough to flash a gun while doing so after already getting in trouble for the exact same thing

    him and the people he surrounds himself with all are just dumb

    LIke how dumb do u have to be to flash a gun the 2nd time after getting in trouble and doing your apology press tour/3 days in a mental health facility?

    Not a helpful attitude by Ja. If you think that's true then don't be such a dumbass and avoid giving them anymore ammo.

    Pun intended.

    Out to get him? For being a Wannabe gangster and breaking the code of conduct in his contract?

    Dude needs to grow the hell up or he can go play in China - somewhere.....

    He is totally screwing himself there is no one else to blame - jettison those anchors that he THINKS are his new friends.....

    Gerald Green had to do it and it almost cost him his career.

    makes no sense, he's a super popular young star with a super fun style, why would the nba want anything other then him being as big a star as possible, what nonsense

    Morant got off lucky, in my opinion. I hope he realizes it and takes the time to get his sh** together. That, and work on his game. What a talent, far too much talent to waste partying with some punks.
