ONE MORE THING: Should the Heat Trade For Ja Morant?

Miami Heat face a potential roster shakeup as the Memphis Grizzlies reportedly shop two-time All-Star Ja Morant for young players and draft picks. Could Morant’s electrifying athleticism and game-changing ability be the missing piece for Miami’s championship quest, or is his injury history and off-court baggage too risky for Pat Riley and Erik Spoelstra to consider? Wes Goldberg breaks down the pros and cons of pursuing Morant, weighing his playoff dominance against declining stats and health concerns. The discussion covers Miami’s world-class conditioning program, the franchise’s leadership culture, and possible trade packages involving Terry Rozier, Jaime Jaquez Jr., and first round picks. Key topics include Memphis’ new youth movement around Jaren Jackson Jr., what Morant’s depreciated value means in the NBA’s new salary cap era, and whether the Heat should sacrifice core assets for a superstar with major upside but notable volatility. Is a blockbuster Miami-Memphis deal on the horizon?
