"The Miami Heat's 14-7 start to the 2025-26 season feels like a distant memory. They are back fighting to avoid their fourth-straight play-in at 20-19. And it's become clearer they need an(other) injection of life. Should that be Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant? He's one of the most polarizing players in the league. But he also appears to be one of the biggest names on the market ahead of the Feb. 5 trade deadline. Let's explore the Miami Heat possibility below!"
"***************************** Hanifan's take: Here are my answers to each question: I think the Heat should do their due diligence. But I don't think Morant is a good fit, so I would likely look elsewhere before pursuing this option. Yes. At the very least, they'll kick the tires. No. Only if the Heat get at least one first-round pick back. Absolutely not. That would be blasphemy. No."
Miami Heat began 14-7 but have slipped to 20-19 and are fighting to avoid a fourth straight play-in appearance. The team appears to need an injection of life. Ja Morant is one of the most polarizing players in the league and is expected to be a top trade-market name before the Feb. 5 deadline. Fans are polled on whether Miami should pursue Morant, whether they would trade Tyler Herro straight up, and whether they should surrender a first-round pick. The recommended approach is to do due diligence; Morant is viewed as a poor fit, and the team would likely only 'kick the tires' without surrendering a first-round pick.
