"Even though losing Herro would hurt the Heat, adding a talent like Morant doesn't present itself all that often. The Heat haven't had this opportunity in years, and bypassing this chance could end up being quite costly for the franchise. Will the Heat pass on Ja Morant? With no guarantee that Giannis Antetokounmpo is ever going to hit the trade block, and even less so considering his recent comments, it may be time for the Heat to seriously explore other avenues of acquiring top-level talent."
"If Miami believes in its organization and culture, adding a talent like Morant (at the ripe age of 26) should not even be a discussion. You do it 10 times out of 10. Again, I'm not sure where the Heat falls on this, but, in theory, Morant seems like a player, assuming the price is right, that they'd take a gamble on."
A proposed ESPN mock trade would send Ja Morant to the Miami Heat in exchange for Tyler Herro and Simone Fontecchio. Sacrificing Herro would sting, but obtaining a 26-year-old elite talent like Morant presents a rare opportunity to reestablish championship contention. With Giannis Antetokounmpo unlikely to be available, the Heat should explore alternative avenues to add top-level talent. If Morant can be acquired without surrendering first-round picks or core young pieces and without breaking the bank, the organizational culture and roster upside make the gamble reasonable and potentially franchise-altering.
