"With 19 days until the 2025-26 NBA Trade Deadline, the fun is only beginning! The Washington Wizards kicked off trade season last week by trading for Trae Young. And there appears to be another disgruntled guard out West - Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant - whose value may not be much higher, if at all. While it remains to be seen whether or not the Grizzlies deal the two-time All-Star ahead of the deadline,"
"Morant's market ahead of the Feb. 5 deadline appears to be modest, at best. What would it take for the Heat to hypothetically get a deal done? At minimum, expect guard Terry Rozier to be involved, according to HoopsHype's Michael Scotto. "Should Miami ultimately acquire Morant, Terry Rozier's expiring $26.64 million contract will almost assuredly be a part of any trade package," Scotto wrote. "Within league circles, there have been rumblings that Morant's desire for months has been to land with the Miami Heat.""
With 19 days remaining until the 2025-26 NBA Trade Deadline, trade activity has accelerated after the Washington Wizards acquired Trae Young. Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant is reportedly disgruntled and could be available, but his market appears modest. The Miami Heat have shown interest but are unlikely to aggressively bid; they will still explore options for available stars. Any Heat package would likely feature Terry Rozier's expiring $26.64 million contract. Rozier remains on league leave amid an FBI gambling probe and his salary stays on Miami's books, making tradeability unclear. Simone Fontecchio's $8 million expiring deal could be a secondary piece, and Memphis' decision will depend on GM Zach Kleiman's willingness to accept such components.
