After dealing Desmond Bane to the Orlando Magic and dismissing head coach Taylor Jenkins prior to the NBA Playoffs, it is evident that the Memphis Grizzlies are preparing for a rebuild.
Trading for Ja Morant is a must if the Grizzlies want to acquire the assets necessary to start rebuilding the squad.
The Miami Heat must approach this NBA Offseason with the utmost urgency to get the team back on track after they finished last season 37-45, and despite making the playoffs, were an early exit as well getting swept by the Cleveland Cavaliers.
That is not the Miami Heat way, and something Erik Spoelstra will be eager to change this offseason.
Though they eliminated the off-court drama with Jimmy Butler’s trade, the team still failed to win games. Despite this, it seemed like they were heading in the right path.
The Miami Heat were unable to overcome numerous obstacles in the 2024 season due to the lack of high-level scorers on the roster, while having two players they would like to retain in Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro.
This is not the first time that Miami has been linked to Ja Morant, so that Jimmy Butler trade point is significant. While discussing the Jimmy Butler situation last year, Yahoo Sports’ Vince Goodwill mentioned Ja Morant in Miami, saying, “Don’t think I’m breaking news here, but in the middle of the whole Jimmy Butler saga, multiple league sources brought up to me was, ‘Hey, you might want to check on Ja Morant in Miami.
” The Heat had already considered Morant as a potential fit, and this could be their opportunity to take advantage.
It would be great for Ja Morant if he could start over with a coach like Erik Spoelstra, who can guide his growth and help him stay on course. Ja Morant is the kind of superstar that the Miami Heat need to bring in fans and boost the team’s overall performance.
Ja Morant has an impressive career average of 22.6 points, 7.4 assists, and 4.7 rebounds. He is coming off a season in which he averaged 7.3 assists, 4.1 rebounds, and 23.2 points per game. The Heat would have been much better off with Morant on the court because of his scoring and passing abilities; his play style would have helped Herro and Adebayo reach their full potential.
In order to prevent a significant decline in performance, the Grizzlies could benefit from adding Anthony Wiggins as a scorer.
Acquiring a promising young player like Kel’el Ware, along with a number of first-round draft choices, would be a game-changer in terms of the team’s future trajectory and roster composition.
The Miami Heat will be able to recover and even improve their offensive scoring with the help of Ja Morant, who is entering his peak and will be the hero the team needs.
The Grizzlies make amends with Morant by dealing him to a contending team, and they acquire the necessary pieces to speed up their lengthy reconstruction.
