Ochocinco declares there is only one team that makes sense for Ja Morant and Giannis to play for next season
Chad Johnson is here to solve the NBA’s problems. Or at least the Miami Heat‘s. Head coach Erik Spoelstra was helpless as he watched the Cleveland Cavaliers throttle his team in the first roundGetty And it involves two of the biggest stars in the Association. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Ja Morant. After the Cleveland Cavaliers swept the Heat in historic fashion on Monday night, Johnson took to X to make a bold declaration of who will be on Miami’s roster come next season. “The Heat will have Ja Morant + Greek Freak next season so the East will run through Miami next year b****,” Johnson wrote on X. Ochocinco is never one to shy away from such thunderous proclamations. The Heat lost Game 4 to the Cavaliers by 55 points. The fourth-worst loss in NBA playoff history. In their four games versus Cleveland, Miami had a -122 point differential, which comes out to -30.5 points per game. The worst point differential in NBA playoff history. In other words, Johnson is manifesting Morant and Antetokounmpo to the 305 this offseason in hopes of saving the franchise that seems destined to fall on hard times. Morant and Antetokounmpo are two of the most electrifying players the Association has to offerGetty If the Bucks can’t come back versus the Pacers, it will be the third straight first round exit for Antetokounmpo and MilwaukeeGetty Of course, things weren’t that much better for Morant and Antetokounmpo on their respective teams either. The Oklahoma City Thunder quickly dispatched Morant’s Memphis Grizzlies in four games (while also suffering a 50+ point loss in the process). Morant did suffer a hip contusion in Game 3 that altered the series, but OKC never felt threatened to lose in the first round. The early exit, coupled with Morant’s spotty play over the last few seasons, has led to a few quiet whispers and murmurs of Memphis possibly trading their superstar and hitting a reset. Meanwhile, the opposite is happening with Antetokounmpo in Milwaukee. While Morant’s future is still certain to be in a Grizzlies uniform, despite the soft rumblings of a trade, Antetokounmpo’s future with the Bucks has been a loud talking point for the last two seasons. Johnson has called his shotGetty And all signs point to a likely split this summer, especially if the Bucks aren’t able to mount a 3-1 comeback against the Indiana Pacers. For all intents and purposes, Antetokounmpo’s time as a Buck might be coming to an end. Very soon. And that is why Johnson has already put the two stars in the 305. While the former All-Pro wide receiver probably didn’t take the time to match salaries and draft picks in a hypothetical trade, or peak at the salary cap and the NBA’s daunting second-apron, it doesn’t matter. At this time of the NBA calendar year, it’s all fun and speculation. That is of course until it actually happens.
