The Memphis Grizzlies shocked the NBA world after the franchise dealt its 26-year-old rising star Desmond Bane to the Orlando Magic on Sunday.
Following their decision to ship one of their longtime building blocks away, many have begun to wonder if the organization plans to deal their electrifying 2-time All-Star point guard, Ja Morant.
In the case of Memphis deciding to initiate a full-scale rebuild, recent updates from Yahoo Sports’ Vince Goodwill have indicated that the Miami Heat could emerge as a frontrunner to land the high-flier if a Morant trade market were to develop.
While the rest of the Grizzlies’ plans for the immediate future are yet to be laid out, Bane’s recent departure serves as a possible foreshadowing.
