\"NBA:<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Memphis Grizzlies<\/a>\u00a0shocked the\u00a0NBA<\/a>\u00a0world after the franchise dealt its 26-year-old rising star\u00a0Desmond Bane<\/a>\u00a0to the\u00a0Orlando Magic<\/a>\u00a0on Sunday.<\/p>\n

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,\u00a0Ja Morant<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the case of Memphis deciding to initiate a full-scale rebuild, recent updates from\u00a0Yahoo Sports’ Vince Goodwill<\/a>\u00a0have indicated that the\u00a0Miami Heat<\/a>\u00a0could emerge as a frontrunner to land the high-flier if a Morant trade market were to develop.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
