A big dispute is coming! The losers of the two major teams may all leave the team due to conflict and war of words!

This season, the current situation is quite difficult for both the Mavericks and the Grizzlies. Not long ago, the Mavericks faced the Grizzlies at home. The two opponents in the Western Conference were inseparable. Cooper Flagg, the much-anticipated No. 1 pick, only scored 12 points, 7 rebounds and 1 assist due to the impact of back-to-back games, and his performance was relatively average.

On the other hand, Klay Thompson, who has performed poorly this season, scored 22 points in this game, which gave the team a lot of help. Unfortunately, the Grizzlies were better here. Zach Eady scored 12 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocks, while Santi Aldama had 20 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists. In the end, the Grizzlies withstood the pressure at the last moment, successfully defeated their opponent by 6 points, and won the game.

However, the focus of this game was not the victory, but the conflict between Klay Thompson and Ja Morant after the game. The moment after the game ended, Morant, who was not playing, approached Clay directly, poked Clay's face with his finger, and directly sprayed "You are a waste now." Clay did not coddle Morant, and directly slapped Morant's hand away, and clashed face to face with Morant. The two sides talked fiercely, and at one point they were about to escalate the conflict.

Thanks to the intervention of the security and coaching staff, further conflicts were avoided. In fact, both of them are frustrated at present, and they can no longer bear the dispute this time. Let us take a look at why these conflicts arise between the two people, and what kind of difficulties they will face after this!

His personal abilities have declined, and Clay may be leaving the team soon.

First of all, let’s talk about Klay. There was actually a rift between him and Morant long before this game. Going back to the 2022 playoffs, this year's Warriors and Grizzlies faced off in the Western Conference semifinals. The previous season, the Warriors were eliminated by the Grizzlies in the play-offs and failed to enter the final playoffs. Therefore, this series can be said to bring old and new grudges together. In the end, the superior Warriors withstood the pressure and successfully defeated the Grizzlies with a score of 4:2, and later successfully won their fourth championship in eight years.

Soon, in the following 22-23 season, during the regular season showdown between the two sides, Dillon Brooks and Clay had a conflict. Morant supported his teammates by his side and shouted "You suck" at Clay. Clay, on the other hand, didn't say any words and raised 4 fingers directly towards them, implying that he had won 4 championships. This also made Morant feel insulted. Until today, the two sides faced off again, and his dissatisfaction directly broke out.

After the game, Clay also accepted an interview. Regarding Morant's words, he gave his own explanation, saying that Morant was talking nonsense, and believed that this conflict was a true reflection of Morant's bad career. Generally speaking, Clay's response was more mature, and he expressed regret for Morant at the end, believing that he should not focus on such insignificant things, and hoped that he would not continue to waste his talents.

However, the current situation is also very dangerous for Clay. He has declined very significantly this season, averaging only 10.1 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game, and his shooting and three-point shooting percentages are only 34.7% and 32.1% respectively. The overall ability is declining. Even though he has made 42 three-pointers, ranking 42nd in the league, he still cannot give the team much help.

Considering that he is 35 years old and has suffered serious injuries, the Mavericks have already considered trading him away with Anthony Davis. Once he leaves the Mavericks, I am afraid Clay will not have much left in his career. Maybe it would have been a better choice to make some concessions and stay with the Warriors, but unfortunately it can't be changed.

Morant continues to cause trouble on and off the court, and Morant has become the target of public criticism.

Then let’s talk about Morant. Compared with Clay, Morant can be said to be the “King of Traffic” in the league recently. What Unbeatable provides is not positive feedback, but full of negative traffic that makes fans and teams dissatisfied. He is obviously a popular player in the league. In the third year of his career, he can contribute 27.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.2 steals. Not only has he become the most improved player, but he has also been selected to the season's best second team and all-star team. He even received a sneaker endorsement contract provided by Nike, which launched his own signature shoes, which is a proper future NBA appearance.

But what’s the result? He continued to violate the league's ban, showed off guns in public and on social media, had many conflicts with passers-by off the court, and drove speeding. Even though the team and the league fined him and suspended him, he remained unmoved and went his own way, completely disappointing the fans and the team.

Let's go back to this season. Facing Klay, who is a veteran and has already achieved fame, the 26-year-old Morant should be respected and recognized as a junior, but he directly provoked a conflict. Both his actions and words were vulgar. After the game, public opinion was also completely fermented. Many media and fans sneered at Morant's behavior and attacked him again.

What is a bit outrageous is that while he was angrily criticizing Klay, he may have also forgotten that he only averaged 17.9 points, 3.5 rebounds and 7.6 assists per game this season, and his shooting and three-point shooting percentages were only 35.9% and 16.7% respectively, showing no progress at all..

And this season, he still has not been able to get rid of the shadow of injuries. He suffered a calf injury not long ago and returned to the injury seat again. Now, the team has no expectations for him. According to multiple media reports, the Grizzlies have considered sending him away. As long as a team makes a satisfactory offer, they will trade him without hesitation. From being the top player in the league back then to being the target of public criticism today, he is entirely to blame for himself. His supposedly outstanding career may have reached its limit here.
