Ja Morant’s future with the Memphis Grizzlies hangs in the balance as trade rumors intensify before the NBA deadline. Could a fresh start in Miami reignite Morant’s All-NBA spark, or will his health and off-court baggage hold back a high-stakes deal?
Wes Goldberg and Joe Mullinax (Locked On Grizzlies) weigh the Miami Heat’s appetite for risk against the Grizzlies’ strategy to maximize value—debating whether Tyler Herro, expiring contracts, or draft assets are the key piece in a potential blockbuster.

If we do, it needs to be for spare change. Not picks or anything of real value
We need an explosive guard
I agree Herro for Morant
Sounds like Grizzlies would accept Two Ham Sandwiches and a late 2nd round pick for JA. Just so Heat keep the good stuff for Gainnis? Haha Yep, that's how it would play out. At this rate Heat will get Gainnis for Wiggins and one 1st round pick. Lets get Ant Edwards for Norman Powell's expiring contract. Championship Bound Baby…….
100 percent the Heat wont trade Herro for Ja.
We need a superstar… not Morant…
dont listen to Joe he trying to sell Ja , Ja is done in memphis so he gonna peddle ja best he can no picks for ja rozier and like fonteccio to match contract price only offer to give for ja
Keep your filthy hands off of Kasper… he’s a national treasure for the heat and a future star.
So some Heat fans want to trade Herro for Morant when spacers are an issue for the Heat. I swear, way too many people are name chasers.
if we can get Ja morant without giving Tyler then we're good
The Kings offer is stronger than the Heat's offer if they don't break up with Herro. We cooked AGAIN
Morant has played 77 games over the last 3 season…. He has been a worse player than Herro since then. He is useless offball, careless on and off the court and can't shoot. It is a joke to want to swap a 25 year old who's gotten better every year for an older player who has rapidly declined.
Let’s not overlook the possibility of Spo finally playing the lineup of:
Ware, Adebayo, Wiggins, Powell, Herro
I will trade Terry Rozier,,, Tyler Herro KJ and Samone Fontechio plus a pick for Ja and JJJ!!! 🎉🎉🎉
He is not heat culture …
Also, I hope Front O are also still enquiring about Zion… I don’t rate either highly (enough), but I’d be far more comfortable going in with a lineup with Zion than Ja
I wonder what it’d take for us to get JJacksonJ (instead of Ja)
The idea of Bam and JJJ in our front court Is tantalising:
Bam, JJacksonJ, JJaquezJ, Powell, Herro
That’s gotta be close to a dream lineup for Spo. Small ball all day!
Single mom with 4 kids and no job = Ja =HEADACHE 🤯
I don't want him he is an injury prone locker room cancer. This will not end well for the Heat.
We are not giving up Herro for Ja no way
The money for Ja & Jaren Jackson Jr for Rozier, Herro & Ware matches up almost perfectly
Trade for Giannis over Ja
Lol the summer of Dame really has burnt me on these kind of talks
This Ja Morant thing seems so desperate for Miami. Pay 45 million a year for a bag of drama that can't shoot, play defense, stay healthy, etc. At least Butler is someone you take seriously… but Ja? Haha please, man…
Honestly if the heat was gonna trade for him it woulda been done Already we all know that we not getting ja
Herro for Ja wes this is the smartest thing you’ve said all season get it done. Let’s go HEAT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
