The Sacramento Kings and Miami Heat are two teams identified as having trade interest in Ja Morant, sources tell Shams Charania. There could also be other teams in the market for Morant. Neither teams were reportedly interested in trading for Trae Young, who was similarly a point guard with a declining trade value.
The Grizzlies are expected to prioritize receiving a package built around future draft picks and young players. But Morant’s trade value is not considered high by NBA personnel that were surveyed by ESPN.
Morant has two seasons left on his contract with $42.17 million in 2026-27 and $44.89 million in 2027-28.
Morant is averaging 19.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 7.6 assists with a PER of 14.7 in 18 games this season.
