People have their thoughts about him, but Ja Morant always cares about his teammates.

His future in Memphis remains to be determined; however, the talented point guard reacted on social media to a few of his teammates signing big deals for the Grizzlies. Jaren Jackson got a major bag of $240 million for five years. He inked out a renegotiation and extension, while Cam Spencer and Santi Aldama agreed to contracts to stay in Memphis.

Spencer’s deal, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania, was two years worth $4.5 million fully guaranteed.

Aldama’s contract, per Charania, was three years worth $52.5 million.

Morant is excited to see all of his guys get paid. He may be possibly wondering when he comes up for contract negotiations, but that will come when he turns in a healthy season that leads Memphis on a deep playoff run and no off-the-court issues.

The Grizzlies want to contend in the Western Conference, but having Morant focused is critical.

For now, he is showing joy for his teammates.
