Where Is Ja Morant Getting Traded to? Rachel Nichols Reveals Grizzlies Star’s Preferred Landing Spot

Several NBA teams including Miami Heat, Minnesota Timberwolves, Milwaukee Bucks, and Brooklyn Nets consider acquiring Ja Morant to boost playoff hopes or rebuild franchises.

  • Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies appear ready to end their partnership, sparking trade rumors as the Miami Heat and other teams show interest, though NBA insider Zach Lowe says Miami's offer seems weaker than expected.
  • Teams want Morant to boost playoff chances or build around a new franchise player, while the Heat seek another star after trading Jimmy Butler, Heat executive Pat Riley’s longtime goal.
  • Some mock trades proposed, like Andrew Wiggins plus Jaime Jaquez and two first-round draft picks, were called unrealistic while insiders say Miami's real offer focuses on Tyler Herro and `dead money`.
  • Such a trade would boost Minnesota Timberwolves and Milwaukee Bucks' playoff prospects or provide Brooklyn Nets a rebuild centerpiece, while Memphis Grizzlies would only move Ja Morant for a couple of strong assets.
  • Rumors continue to circulate with Miami Heat repeatedly named a popular suitor, while analysts including Zach Lowe say the Heat may `bluff` and improve their offer closer to the trade deadline.
