Stunning NBA rumor suggets Ja Morant could be on trade block this summer: 6 possible landing spots, including the Rockets and Heat

Could the Memphis Grizzlies seriously consider moving top star Ja Morant this summer? After the Dallas Mavericks shockingly traded Luka Doncic before the 2025 NBA trade deadline anything seems possible. And a wild new report on Tuesday pointed to the Grizz doing the unthinkable after the season.

“I’m constantly checking in with executives around trade deadline about like, OK, what we saw, what we didn’t see, what’s next, and in this league, you are always on the lookout for who’s the next wave of stars that are going to get dealt, right?” NBA insider Howard Beck said on The Ringer’s NBA Show this week. “We just saw the shock of all shocks with the Luka deal, we saw Jimmy Butler, there’s already whispers once again about Giannis [Antetekounmpo]. And somebody out of the blue said, keep an eye on Ja this summer.”

If the Grizzlies have grown tired of Ja Morant off the court, similar to the Mavericks and Doncic, here are six teams that could pursue the two-time All-Star.

For months, the Houston Rockets were linked to a potential Jimmy Butler trade. However, as we got closer to the trade deadline reports claimed Houston wanted to stand pat with this roster and see how they do in the 2024 NBA Playoffs. If they disappoint in the postseason, pursuing Ja Morant is very possible.

They have good assets to offer Memphis in a deal, and the idea of Ja Morant and All-Star Alperen Sengun teaming up for the next decade would certainly excite Rockets fans.
