Ja Morant could be a much more realistic target for the Miami Heat than originally believed, that's assuming the speculation that his trade value may be right on par with what the Atlanta Hawks got in exchange for Trae Young is accurate.
According to Sports Illustrated's Chris Mannix, that's what he is hearing: that the current trade value for Morant is a veteran player on an expiring contract and a solid young player. If that's all it will take to pry Morant out of Memphis, the Heat should be seriously considering taking such a risk.
And for all those fans who are on the fence about the team making such a move, this should calm their nerves about the potnetial risk that this deal comes with, considering how little the Heat would have to give up.
