NBA rumors: Insider makes eye-opening Ja Morant-Heat trade connection
The post NBA rumors: Insider makes eye-opening Ja Morant-Heat trade connection appeared first on ClutchPoints. With some wondering about the Memphis Grizzlies' plans with Ja Morant after the shocking trade of sending Desmond Bane to the Orlando Magic, there has been much speculation about the team that could be interested in the star. As some such as ESPN's Brian Windhorst see the Grizzlies' move as a rebuild trade that could impact Morant, Vince Goodwill of Yahoo Sports would link the Miami Heat to the 25-year-old. Advertisement Morant being connected to Miami currently wouldn't be the first time it's happened, as Goodwill points out that it would have been more complicated to do before the trade deadline with the Jimmy Butler saga happening. He would also say on his 'Good Word with Goodwill' podcast that Bane would've been involved in 'iterations' of a potential deal at the time. 'I don't think I'm breaking news here, but in the middle of the whole Jimmy Butler saga last year, one name that multiple league sources had brought up to me was, 'Hey, you might want to check on Ja Morant and Miami,'' Goodwill said. 'I didn't understand the iterations of it and I thought 'This was gonna be a really complicated trade (A) because of Jimmy's extension (B) because of Ja's long money, and there was iterations of Ja and Desmond Bane being shipped out, which sounds like it could be true given Desmond Bane was just traded yesterday.' Grizzlies not expected to trade Ja Morant Alonzo Adams-USA TODAY Sports Trade rumors around Morant have been non-stop, especially ever since the Grizzlies fired head coach Taylor Jenkins, but in terms of the current moment, there isn't an expectation that the team will trade the talented star. This comes from a report by Tim Bontemps of ESPN, who said that Memphis is 'not looking to deal' Morant and big man Jaren Jackson Jr., who are seen as the 'two remaining franchise cornerstones.' Advertisement 'But more star trades are not expected. Sources told ESPN that the Grizzlies are not looking to deal either of their two remaining franchise cornerstones. The team has spent the past several months clearing salary cap space to complete a renegotiation and extension of Jackson's contract this offseason, preventing him from hitting free agency in 2026. The belief is that an extension will get done, sources said. But the Bane trade gives Memphis an avenue to give Jackson even more on that deal and lock him in long term.' Looking at the Heat, the team is currently pursuing Kevin Durant, but if it does not pan through, the franchise will look for other options in adding a star, which could mean contacting the Grizzlies about Morant. At any rate, Memphis looks to improve after finishing 48-34, which put them eighth in the Western Conference before being eliminated by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round of the NBA Playoffs.

Stephen A. Smith's Daughter Goes Viral At NBA Finals
Stephen A. Smith's Daughter Goes Viral At NBA Finals originally appeared on The Spun. Prior to Game 6 of the NBA Finals, ESPN allowed Stephen A. Smith's daughter to make an appearance on "SportsCenter." Advertisement Smith has truly become the face of ESPN over the past few years due to his work on "First Take." Earlier this year, he received an extension worth $100 million. ESPN chairman Jimmy Pitaro referred to the charismatic personality as a "difference-maker" for the network. Not even his biggest critics can debate that. "Stephen A. works incredibly hard to elevate the sports conversation day-in and day-out and we are grateful he will remain at ESPN," Pitaro said. "He is a difference maker, and fans are captivated by his deep sports knowledge, strong opinions and unmistakable flair." ESPN gave Smith a moment he'll never forget this Thursday. During the network's pregame coverage of the NBA Finals at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, the "First Take" analyst had the chance to share the spotlight with his daughter Samantha. Let's just say Samantha was a natural on TV. DALLAS, TEXAS - JUNE 12: ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith reports before Game Three of the 2024 NBA Finals between the Boston Celtics and the Dallas Mavericks at American Airlines Center on June 12, 2024 in Dallas, Texas. (Photo by)"Hi guys, I'm Samantha. I'm so happy to be here, I've made so many friends. This is really a great experience," she said. "This is a really great experience and I feel really grateful to be here, you guys." Advertisement Though it's not a huge surprise, Smith couldn't wait to interrupt his daughter's brief time on air. "You just got here five minutes ago," Smith told her. Smith has taken a lot of heat during the NBA Finals, especially since he got caught playing solitaire while Game 4 was going on. Though he has fought back against his critics, they haven't taken their feet off the gas. "When I'm watching the game, I'm watching the game," Smith replied. "If there's a break in the action -- it could be a dead ball, it could be a timeout or something like that - I can play the thing for two seconds." Advertisement Luckily for Smith, most fans couldn't help but smile at this Thursday's moment between father and daughter. Stephen A. Smith's Daughter Goes Viral At NBA Finals first appeared on The Spun on Jun 20, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jun 20, 2025, where it first appeared.
