The New Orleans Pelicans and Minnesota Timberwolves are interested in trading for Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant, with the Pelicans being considered the frontrunner, according to Sam Amick on FanDuel TV’s Run It Back. The Grizzlies initially attempted to trade Morant before last season’s deadline and are expected to revisit trade discussions this offseason. Morant’s significant salary of $42.2 million this season and $44.8 million next season poses challenges for potential deals. The Pelicans may need to trade veteran point guard Dejounte Murray to facilitate a move for Morant.
