Intriguing Western Conference Team Reaches Out To Memphis About A Ja Morant Trade

Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies have been one of the most intriguing stories in the NBA this season, and while there hasn't been much drama as of late, things still aren't perfect between them. There have been clear frustrations between Morant and head coach Tuomas Iisalo to the point where many expect the former No. 2 overall pick to request a trade in the near future.

There's been nothing official requested from the player as of yet, but right now, there's plenty of interest being shown in Morant, despite the poor efficiency he's put up when he has been on the court this season. Now, we know of another team that's in touch with Memphis on a potential trade, as the Sacramento Kings have expressed interest in adding the talented 26-year-old, per Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.

Recently, it's been reported that the Kings are looking to move off some of their veterans, and with the team looking to build around Keegan Murray, an exciting point guard like Morant would be a good secondary option. It's unclear exactly who the Grizzlies would desire from the Kings in a potential trade, but for now, it's a move that could make sense for both teams.

Ultimately, Morant may end up staying in Memphis if they can start turning things around, but after a poor start combined with tension with his head coach, moving on may be the best move, so keep a close eye on Sacramento here.
