"Just recently, NBA insider Jake Fischer had reported that the Heat could be interested in acquiring the disgruntled Morant from the Memphis Grizzlies. He mentioned that Miami has had "internal discussions" about the All-Star point guard and how their "infrastructure" could benefit him. In summary, Fischer is saying that the front office believes that Heat Culture could revive the career of Morant."
"Currently in his seventh season, the 26-year-old Morant is in the midst of averaging 17.7 points and 7.5 assists on an abysmal 35.7% shooting. He has shown some rapid signs of decline, but it is unclear just how much of that has to do with a true regression or if he is trying to play his way out of Memphis. Morant was suspended by the Grizzlies for expressing disagreement towards the team's coaching strategy and his minutes earlier this season."
Miami Heat have been linked to multiple stars on the trade market, including Giannis Antetokounmpo, Ja Morant, Kawhi Leonard and Anthony Davis. Giannis represents an MVP-caliber target for which Miami would consider trading almost any assets. Interest in Kawhi and Anthony Davis remains lower priority and should not justify major roster disruption. Internal discussions within Miami have considered acquiring Ja Morant and how Heat infrastructure could benefit his game. Morant, in his seventh season at 26 years old, is averaging 17.7 points and 7.5 assists on 35.7% shooting amid signs of decline and recent suspension.
