Jake Fischer Miami Heat are interested in Ja Morant but only on what they would consider a bargain deal Something very equivalent to what Washington Wizards paid for Trae Young I have no heard much interest in Ja Morant elsewhere

Windhorst When I say Ja Morant has no value I dont even think thats accurate I think he has what they call in the league negative value Meaning teams werent willing to take Ja Morant unless the Grizzlies also added draft compensation

Windhorst NBA executives believe the substantial return for Jaren Jackson Jr could reshape the Memphis Grizzlies approach making them more willing to absorb undesirable contracts alongside draft capital in a potential Ja Morant deal

Windhorst Golden State has moved on Minnesota who was also very aggressively trying to get Giannis they have also moved on So you can tell Minnesota and Golden State are not getting Giannis the Miami Heat are still out there The Heat are still trying to make moves to improve their offer

Fischer Giannis by all accounts does not want to head to Portland despite the connections with Jrue despite the connections with Damian Lillard

Fischer At this point all this momentum it seems like Minnesota does have the lead Ive heard internally Milwaukee values Minnesotas potential package and Miamis potential package more than Golden States

Kendrick Perkins on Ja Morant He has one foot on the grave the other on the banana peel when it comes down to his career Ja Morant better wake the hell up cuz in 2 years after this contract he could find himself out of the league
