Miami Heat Trade for Ja Morant Worth the Risk?

Miami Heat face a potential franchise-altering decision: is Ja Morant the answer or a risky distraction? With trade rumors swirling around the Memphis Grizzlies star and his unrest in Memphis, David Ramil and Wes Goldberg break down how Morant could reshape Heat culture, impact their up-tempo offense, and raise questions about locker room chemistry. Will Miami pursue Morant, or stick with their newly installed Noah LaRoche-inspired system that’s delivered a top-10 offense? Key topics include Morant’s trade value, the feasibility of Miami sending Tyler Herro or Andrew Wiggins to Memphis, and whether Morant’s pick-and-roll style fits the Heat’s vision. The hosts also analyze the fallout from Precious Achiuwa signing with the Sacramento Kings and explore Miami’s backup center options amid ongoing roster instability. Can the Heat build on their early-season offensive surge, or does a superstar shakeup loom on the horizon? 00:00 Intro 01:30 Ja Morant joyless in Memphis 14:10 Ja Morant Trade Value Analysis 27:43 Fake Trades 34:10 Precious Achiuwa Plan B Become a Locked On Heat Insider on Subtext! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonheat Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
