"The Miami Heat don't appear to be actively negotiating with the Memphis Grizzlies on the Ja Morant front, but the path toward acquiring him may have somehow gotten even easier over the last few days. Which makes one believe that the Heat's Giannis Antetokounmpo backup plan may already be set in stone. After the Grizzlies traded Jaren Jackson Jr. in a blockbuster deal to the Utah Jazz,"
"While that's all well and good, and certainly something that will appeal to Heat fans, this front office is not even going to entertain such a possibility until there's some sort of resolution on the Giannis front. And the more you think about it, the only way that the Heat will likely seriously explore a trade for Morant is if they whiff on Giannis."
Miami currently is not actively negotiating with Memphis on a Ja Morant trade, but recent developments have made a deal more feasible. The Grizzlies' trade of Jaren Jackson Jr. to the Jazz increased urgency to move Morant while his trade value appears to have softened. One reporter indicates Morant's camp is pushing for a Miami destination. The Heat will not seriously pursue Morant until a resolution with Giannis Antetokounmpo occurs. If the Heat fail to land Giannis or the Bucks prolong the bidding, Miami would likely pivot to Morant as a cost-effective backup option at the deadline.
