The former All-Star floor general could be on the move after Memphis agreed to ship Jaren Jackson Jr. to the Utah Jazz, making it clear they're headed toward a full rebuild. With their star big man gone, the Grizzlies are expected to start shopping Morant next.
According to reports, the dynamic guard would be open to joining the Heat, and Miami has been linked to him in trade discussions before the league shifted focus to the Giannis Antetokounmpo situation in Milwaukee.
An NBA source told the Sun Sentinel on Tuesday that he believes the Heat could be active on both the Antetokounmpo and Morant fronts ahead of the trade deadline, with decisions on the two not being mutually exclusive.
The Heat represent a fresh name in the Morant sweepstakes as teams position themselves before the deadline. While speculation has centered on what Milwaukee will do with their disgruntled superstar, Miami is quietly working multiple angles.
