"If the Miami Heat are slowly trying to buy their time before another superstar trade target becomes available, they may not have to wait much longer. That's because Ja Morant could find himself on the trade block if things between the All-Star guard and the Memphis Grizzlies continue to trend south."
"Over the last few days, it does seem as if the relationship between the Grizzlies and Morant has soured to a certain extent. It's still not at the point where a trade has been requested or to a place where the Grizzlies are openly shopping Morant, but there's mounting evidence that we could be headed in that direction."
"Taking a page out of the Jimmy Butler playbook, Morant could be getting to the point where he may force the Grizzlies' hand. And if Memphis isn't willing to play this game of chicken with their supposed face of the franchise, it could open the door for a team like the Heat to swoop in and take full advantage."
Ja Morant's relationship with the Memphis Grizzlies has recently soured, increasing the likelihood of a trade. The situation has not escalated to a formal trade request or public shopping, but tensions are mounting. Morant could adopt a confrontational approach similar to Jimmy Butler and push the franchise to act. If Memphis resists or mishandles the conflict, teams such as the Miami Heat could pursue Morant. Morant provided terse public responses indicating reduced joy and uncertainty about recovery. The next moves by Morant and the Grizzlies will determine whether a trade becomes imminent.
