Dream Ja Morant trade proposal that checks all the Heat's boxes

"If the Miami Heat could acquire Ja Morant without including any of their future draft picks, Kel'el Ware, or Tyler Herro, it would be a dream scenario for the franchise. Interestingly enough, especially with how little reported interest there is in Morant at the moment, there's a pathway toward Miami pulling it off. In such a scenario, the Heat would send an iteration of Terry Rozier, Simone Fontecchio, Jaime Jaquez Jr., and a future pick swap to the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for Morant."

"While it may not meet the threshold of what the Grizzlies reportedly are asking for (a young player and a future first-round pick), it does come awfully close. And if the trade market for Morant doesn't expand in the next few weeks, it's an offer that Memphis may have to seriously consider taking. Maybe there's a scenario where it's Nikola Jovic and Kasparas Jakucionis instead of Jaquez Jr. in the deal,"

"Why? Well, it's as simple as this: The Heat would be able to land Morant without tapping into the asset chest that will be needed for a potential pursuit of Giannis Antetokounmpo. If they can pull this off on their terms, there's a scenario where the Heat adds Morant now, and then pushes for a Giannis trade when there's more clarity (or uncertainty) revolving his future in Milwaukee during the summer."

The Miami Heat could acquire Ja Morant without surrendering future draft picks, Kel'el Ware, or Tyler Herro by offering Terry Rozier, Simone Fontecchio, Jaime Jaquez Jr., and a future pick swap to the Memphis Grizzlies. That package approaches what Memphis reportedly seeks—a young player plus a future first-round pick—and may become more attractive if Morant's trade market remains limited. Alternate permutations could substitute Nikola Jovic and Kasparas Jakucionis for Jaquez Jr. The primary motive is to add Morant while preserving draft capital and young assets needed for a potential pursuit of Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Heat would likely downplay public interest while pursuing Morant to preserve negotiation flexibility.
