Heat Will Not Trade for Ja Morant if It Affects Giannis

The Miami Heat are not considering a trade for Ja Morant if it jeopardizes their chances of pursuing Giannis Antetokounmpo, according to Marc Stein. The team is prioritizing cap flexibility, particularly for the summer of 2027, when notable free agents like Antetokounmpo, Donovan Mitchell, and Nikola Jokic may be available. Although Morant has shown interest in joining the Heat, discussions are still in early stages. A trade involving Antetokounmpo would require him to demand a move from the Bucks.
