Morant shrugs off Grizzlies trade chatter with 'live with it' reply

Ja Morant brushed off reports that Memphis was considering trading him, telling reporters in Berlin that his reaction to the chatter is to 'live with it' as the team weighs its options. He offered minimal answers about his future beyond the Feb. 5 trade deadline, said he feels good physically after missing time with a calf bruise, and touched on his cryptic social posts. The remarks come as Memphis gears up for two nationally televised games in Berlin and London and amid broader speculation involving other Grizzlies stars, including a floated Lakers trade for Jaren Jackson Jr., which Jackson dismissed.

Grizzlies Open to Morant Trade as Raptors, Heat and Clippers Enter the Conversation

Memphis has begun listening to trade offers for Ja Morant, with Raptors, Heat and Clippers discussed as potential destinations. Proposed deals include Raptors sending Immanuel Quickley and Ja’Kobe Walter plus picks for Morant; Heat trading Terry Rozier, Simone Fontecchio and a 2029 first-round pick; Clippers swapping for John Collins, Bogdanović, Kobe Brown and a 2030 lottery-protected pick. The piece notes Morant’s injury history and shooting struggles but also his burst and playmaking, suggesting Memphis may pursue longer contracts or more draft capital in a deal, similar to but potentially more favorable than the Trae Young scenario.

Ja Morant Trade Talk Heats Up as Deadline Approaches

Ja Morant is at the center of looming trade chatter as the trade deadline nears, with Memphis likely aiming for a significant return despite his off‑court baggage and calf injury. The Milwaukee Bucks are reportedly interested, a pairing that may be unconventional but reflects their search for talent (with Zach LaVine also on their radar). Other teams linked include the Brooklyn Nets as a dark horse, while the Sacramento Kings are said to be lukewarm on Morant, Toronto could target different assets, and Miami is weighing whether Morant could thrive in a new culture. Minnesota and Charlotte were mentioned only as possibilities, and a Morant-for-LaVine swap seems unlikely; Memphis isn’t expected to fetch theDesmond Bane-scale haul from the past summer given the circumstances.
