New Ja Morant Trade Rumors Reveal Grizzlies' 'Hope' amid Giannis, Heat, Kings Buzz

As most of the NBA's attention is on what will happen with Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Memphis Grizzlies are keeping an eye on the teams that don't land the two-time MVP.

Per The Athletic's Sam Amick, the Grizzlies are "hopeful" that Ja Morant will be the Plan B for a team that misses out on Antetokounmpo.

Amick specifically cited the Miami Heat as a team that has had "serious interest" in Morant and they could offer a potential package that would "reset" an otherwise soft market for the 26-year-old.

The Sacramento Kings were also mentioned as a potential landing spot, though Amick noted they would seek "additional draft assets" from the Grizzlies to take on Morant's contract.
