Ja Morant does not share a common interest in the Kings
The Memphis Grizzlies they are going to rebuild, and the next player is Ja Morant is probably on the move. Several teams have been interested in the Grizzlies guard, but it’s uncertain who will be the one with the best package. From now on, the two teams that are getting stronger are Sacramento Kings and the Miami Heat, as both look to upgrade at the position.
For the Kings, though they have an interest in Morant, it doesn’t appear the player was reciprocated, according to Clutch Points’ Brett Siegel and Tomer Azarly.
“I think you reported earlier today that the Sacramento Kings are interested in buying or trading for Ja Morant. I’m told Ja Morant is not interested in going to the Sacramento Kings. If he goes anywhere, he’s looking at the Miami Heat or the Minnesota Timberwolves,” Azarly told Clutch Scoops.
It makes sense why Morant might not want to play for the Kings, as they are not the hottest destination for players. They are also near the bottom of the Western Conference and have no real path to getting better.
As for the heat, Morant is interested in playing thereprobably because of their style of play, and it’s where many go and have a rejuvenation of their career. A pairing with him and Bama Adebayo may suit him as well, and the Heat could definitely improve with his addition.
At the same time, the Grizzlies don’t have to particularly respect what Morant wants, and if they know they’re not going to get a great deal for him, they’ll get the best deal they can from any team that wants him.
