Sources also note that if the Miami Heat were to make a bold, all-in move, this could be their opportunity to land the explosive guard.
Memphis is exploring trade possibilities for Morant for the first time, with multiple teams already expressing interest.
Morant, under contract through 2027-28, has played 18 games this season, averaging 19.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 7.6 assists per contest. While his shooting numbers—40.1% from the field and 20.8% from three—have struggled, his speed, playmaking, and explosiveness keep him among the NBA’s most dynamic guards.
The Grizzlies currently sit 10th in the Western Conference with a 16-21 record. With the trade deadline approaching, Memphis must decide whether to continue building around emerging stars like 2023 Defensive Player of the Year Jaren Jackson Jr. or leverage Morant’s value to secure long-term assets.
