Gilbert Arenas sees positive in Ja Morant firing his agent
Gilbert Arenas saw great positives in Ja Morant’s recent decision to fire his agent. On the show “Nightcap”, he expressed his opinion on the Grizzlies star’s recent actions and also shared his valuable insights on his situation. He was accompanied by NFL legend Shannon Sharpe who also agreed to Arenas’ take.
“I think he is cleaning the house. He is surrounding himself with smarter people, who are going to take him to the next step. The fact that he has stayed out of the limelight, he is getting healthy… for the most part, his troubles were his cell phone and the fact that he has laid low. I think everyone just can’t wait until next year with him,” said Arenas on the nightcap show. He highlighted that Morant has been avoiding the spotlight and working actively to fix his reputation. He pointed out that the Grizzlies star is surrounding himself with smart people who can lift him to the next level.
