"The Miami Heat should be keeping a close eye on Ja Morant's situation with the Memphis Grizzlies, waiting for the right opportunity to embark on an all-out trade pursuit for the All-Star guard. And if one proposed offer is all it would take to land Morant, it's hard to envision a world where the Heat doesn't pull the trigger. In a proposed deal from Bleacher Report, the Heat would send Tyler Herro and Simone Fontecchio to the Grizzlies for Morant."
"With Morant's trade value at perhaps an all-time low, this is the type of deal that has Heat president Pat Riley written all over it. In theory, Morant would represent a superstar talent that the Heat desperately needs, even if it comes with a reclamation period. Talent is talent, and Riley has built his career on acquiring the talent and figuring out the rest later. It's what he does, and what he excels at."
The Miami Heat should monitor Ja Morant's situation and prepare an all-out trade pursuit if opportunity arises. A proposed trade would send Tyler Herro and Simone Fontecchio to Memphis for Morant with no draft picks or swaps. Morant's trade value appears depressed, creating a window for Pat Riley to acquire elite talent despite reclamation risk. Morant offers a higher ceiling than Herro, who is an All-Star-level guard but likely has a lower ultimate ceiling. Miami could include a future first-round pick to facilitate a deal. Trading for Morant carries risk given recent on-court performance.
