Three NBA trade proposals sending Ja Morant<\/a> from the Memphis Grizzlies to the Brooklyn Nets, Chicago Bulls and Dallas Mavericks have been created. <\/p>\n

NBA writer Zach Harper of The Athletic<\/a> created the following trade proposals:<\/p>\n

Brooklyn Nets get: Ja Morant, 2027 pick swap<\/p>\n

Memphis Grizzlies get: Terance Mann<\/a>, Day\u2019Ron Sharpe<\/a>, Nolan Traore<\/a>, 2027 first (HOU)<\/p>\n

Chicago Bulls get: Ja Morant<\/p>\n

Memphis Grizzlies get: Coby White<\/a>, Patrick Williams<\/a>, Tre Jones<\/a> and protected 2027 first<\/p>\n

Dallas Mavericks get: Ja Morant, John Konchar<\/a><\/p>\n

Memphis Grizzlies get: Kyrie Irving<\/a>, Max Christie<\/a>, Dante Exum<\/a><\/p>\n

The Grizzlies and Morant have mutual interest in parting ways, sources told DallasHoopsJournal. <\/p>\n

Morant \u201chates\u201d playing for Grizzlies head coach Tuomas Iisalo, sources said. The point guard is not a fan of Iisalo\u2019s strategy of playing lineups in short shifts and then mass substituting, sources said. It has prevented Morant from getting his legs underneath him and developing a rhythm on the court.<\/p>\n

Memphis is entertaining offers to potentially trade Morant, who doesn\u2019t have a no-trade clause in his contract. Multiple teams are pursuing Morant in trade talks and rival executives believe the Grizzlies would prioritize draft picks and young players in return.<\/p>\n

Memphis is considering multiple paths forward amid the emergence of several promising young players. The Grizzlies also remain open to continuing with Morant as a focal part of their core with Jaren Jackson Jr.<\/a><\/p>\n

Morant has appeared in 18 games this season. He\u2019s averaging 19.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 7.6 assists per game while shooting 40.1% from the field, 20.8% from beyond the arc and 90.0% from the free-throw line.<\/p>\n

A two-time All-Star, Morant is making $39.4 million this season. He will make $42.2 million next season and $44.9 million in the 2027-28 season, the final year of his contract.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 2019-20 Rookie of the Year, Morant has only led the Grizzlies to the second round of the playoffs once.<\/p>\n

Morant, 26, has career averages of 22.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game. He was the second overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft.<\/p>\n
