The storylines surrounding this year's trade deadline might be best interpreted as the island of misfit toys, if you will.
We already saw one of those guys, Trae Young, go out to the Wizards, and there are a wealth of other players with a similar stock decline to "Ice Trae" still firmly attached to the rumor mill. By no means are they weak players — in fact, they're still pretty much stars in most respects — but perhaps more so in the sense of being undesirable and full of uncertainty.
Guys like Domantas Sabonis, Anthony Davis, and the subject of this piece, Ja Morant.
