Overview
- Memphis is taking calls on Ja Morant, with one reported ask to Milwaukee centered on a 2031 or 2032 first-round pick plus Ryan Rollins, with additional salary needed to match.
- Reporting describes Miami’s interest as overstated, with the Heat protecting future cap flexibility and only engaging in preliminary dialogue.
- The Pelicans have joined the list of teams that have checked in, alongside the Bucks, Kings and Raptors, though Sacramento is unwilling to include significant draft capital.
- A viral post claiming Morant had been traded to the Bucks originated from a parody account and has been debunked as false.
- Morant is under contract through 2027-28 and his injuries, a one-game suspension and career-low shooting have cooled the market, as rival teams also gauge Memphis on Jaren Jackson Jr., including the Celtics and Pistons.
