Reporter: The Grizzlies have no intention of rebuilding and regard Morant and Jaren Jr. as the cornerstones of the championship.

Hupu News on November 06 According to reporter Chris Mannix, the Grizzlies are not interested in rebuilding and believe that their star duo Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. form the foundation of a championship contending team.

The reporter said:

The Grizzlies may not consider a complete reconstruction at all, and they are unwilling to do so. The team views the combination of Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. as the cornerstone of a championship run and believes getting healthy (Memphis has been ravaged by injuries this season) will lead to victory.

This is not a team trying to trade Morant, but a team looking to use existing assets - including multiple first-round picks acquired from the Magic last summer in the Desmond Bane trade - to add help to him.

Previously, Morant was suspended from the team for openly criticizing the coaching staff after the game, and conflicts within the Grizzlies team completely broke out.
