Lowe: NBA teams are treating Morant’s current performance as useless. Everyone knows that he has decided to leave.

On November 19, famous reporter Zach Lowe reported in his podcast that NBA teams are "treating Ja Morant's current performance as waste paper."

"Regarding Ja (Morant) - the teams that are scouting him, and I just talked to one of them over the weekend - they just write off his current performance as a waste. The scouts said bluntly: 'This is a completely committed player in our view. Teams are more inclined to base his long-term career on his long-term career than what they see in front of them. Career performance to assess value - although the so-called long-term record itself is questionable given his attendance over the past few years. But the reality is... he averaged 18 points, shot 36% from the field, 17% from three-point range, and seemed distracted on both ends of the game for most of every game. ’” Lowe said.
