Milwaukee Bucks have emerged as a team to watch in potential Ja Morant trade talks, as the franchise stays focused on building a win-now roster around Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Memphis Grizzlies / Schedule
According to Evan Sidery of Forbes, Milwaukee is monitoring Morant closely while the Memphis Grizzlies explore the market for their star guard.
Any deal would require serious salary matching, with Kyle Kuzma, Bobby Portis, and Ryan Rollins mentioned as possible pieces to make the money work.
The situation could become more serious if the Bucks decide to put their 2031 first-round pick on the table, which would likely push discussions forward.

Memphis is open to listening. Earlier this week, ESPN reported that the Grizzlies are exploring a Morant trade for the first time, with multiple teams already showing interest. League insiders believe Memphis would focus on draft picks and young players in return, giving them flexibility as they evaluate the direction of the roster.
Morant, 26, remains under contract through the 2027-28 season, which gives the Grizzlies control over the process. While the team has young talent to build around, including Defensive Player of the Year Jaren Jackson Jr., Memphis has not fully committed to either keeping Morant as the centerpiece or moving in a new direction.
On the court, Morant has played 18 games this season, averaging 19.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 7.6 assists. The Grizzlies currently sit 10th in the Western Conference with a 16-21 record.
