Rumors of Ja Morant Trade Dismissed by GM

Following the shocking trade of Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers, rumors have emerged regarding the potential trade of Ja Morant from the Memphis Grizzlies. NBA analyst Howard Beck highlighted Morant as a player to watch for a possible trade this summer if the Grizzlies underperform in the playoffs. Despite these speculations, Grizzlies GM Zach Kleiman has firmly dismissed the idea, labeling it as 'fantasy' and affirming their commitment to Morant as a core part of their team alongside Jaren Jackson Jr. and Desmond Bane. The Grizzlies currently hold a strong position in the Western Conference, fueling their confidence in maintaining their roster. Morant's performance and potential contract extension have sparked trade interest, but Memphis remains focused on its current trajectory.
