Bain has been sent away, and the possibility of Morant being sent to the Heat has increased significantly

The US media NBA Central updates the update, which reads: According to reporter Vince Goodwill, during the period when Jimmy Butler was caught in a contract renewal storm last year, several league sources once mentioned: You may need to pay attention to the potential connection between Ja Morant and the Miami Heat. The reporter initially thought the deal would be very complicated, mainly because of Butler's contract renewal and Morant's big contract. The source also mentioned that there were many transaction rumors about the possibility that Morant and Desmond Bane might be sent away separately, according to the situation where they were likely to be packaged and sent away. At that time, everyone might not have any thoughts on this statement, after all, this seemed to be an unrealistic thing. However, now it seems that this statement is indeed credible, because Bain was indeed sent to Orlando Magic by the Grizzlies in a big deal. In addition, Butler has also left the Heat, which will make it less difficult to complete the deal. It is equivalent to as long as the Heat can provide enough convincing chips and the Grizzlies are willing to send Morant away, the transaction itself does not have any feasibility problem.

In the NBA regular season this season, Morant played a total of 50 games in 82 games, averaging 30.4 minutes per game, averaging 23.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 7.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 3.7 turnovers and 2.3 fouls, shooting percentage of 45.4%, three-point shooting percentage of 30.9%, and free throw shooting percentage of 82.4%. In the playoffs, Morant played 3 games in total, with averaging 27.3 minutes per game, with averaging 18.3 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.7 blocks, 2 turnovers and 1 foul, with a shooting percentage of 41.5%, a three-point shooting percentage of 25%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 63.6%. Morant's performance this season is actually quite average. Some of his shortcomings have not been improved. His performance in the stability of the outside shooting and defensive ability is not satisfactory, which has also largely made it difficult for the team's record to go further.

It is not clear whether the Heat and the Grizzlies will start negotiations on this heavyweight deal, but there are signs that Morant may be involved in some potential deals. Some media also believe that the Grizzlies may make significant adjustments to the team's lineup. In this case, Morant also has the possibility of being sent away by the team. As for the Heat, they seem to be constantly being involved in various big deal rumors and they do hope to enhance the team's competitiveness by introducing a star. In this case, maybe we really have the opportunity to see the deal of Morant joining the Heat?
