Prediction! Big Heat trade! 4-for-1 bet on Morant! A new pattern in the Eastern Conference?

Today, the US media "Bleacher Report" suddenly released a blockbuster simulated trade news, which directly caused an uproar in the NBA fan circle:

"The Miami Heat acquired Ja Morant, and the Memphis Grizzlies received Rozier, Harks Jr., Yakouchinhos, plus two first-round picks!"

Although it was a simulated transaction, this The news was hot enough, and the fan circle immediately exploded:

"The Heat are crazy! Now the championship is returning to the South Coast!"

"The Grizzlies are betting on the future. Morant's temper... may not be able to stay in Miami."

No matter which voice, the discussion heated up. After all, this is not a small deal. Although Morant's on-field performance and off-field reputation have declined in recent years, from the perspective of combat strength matching, if it comes true, this deal is enough to change the fate of both teams.

From the perspective of the Heat, after experiencing highs and lows in the past two seasons, the Heat have retreated from the second-tier team in the finals. After the swap deal between Butler and Wiggins, the team lacks a star player; although Adebayor is stable, he cannot support the scene, and Hiero's growth has also been hampered by injuries and has been intermittent.

Especially considering the chaotic pattern of the Eastern Conference in the new season, after the Celtics and Pacers withdraw from the competition, it is indeed an opportunity for some second-tier teams to turn around. Although the Heat had an average record last season, the team system is stable and the role puzzle lineup is complete. They urgently need someone who can ignite the whole game, a star who can bring explosive rhythm and take over the game at critical moments.

As a result, Morant’s name naturally surfaced.

For this 26-year-old explosive guard who is in his prime, he was also a super ball-handler who averaged 27+5+6 per game at his peak. With his explosive physical fitness, if he can reduce some negative news off the court, he will still be the most entertaining All-Star guard in the league.

We can simply imagine a scene:

Hiro's weak-side three-point response, Adebayor's inside support, and Morant's air-cut dunk. This scene can definitely inspire wild applause from the fans in the audience. For this combination, they have the opportunity to hit a safe seat in the top half of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

From the perspective of the Grizzlies, this transaction does appear to be on the losing side, but if you think about it carefully, there is logic behind it. Morant has been in constant trouble off the court in the past few years, and injuries have continued to hinder attendance, causing the team's top management to choose to turn around and rebuild. Now that he has suffered an ankle injury and his return time has not yet been determined, maybe the Grizzlies management is also thinking of completely changing the direction?

From this perspective, this transaction seems logical.

Judging from the chip package provided by the Heat, although the 31-year-old Rozier is not a top point guard, he is still a capable substitute. He averaged 10.6 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 64 games last season. Although he is not eye-catching, he is still a short-term transition option.

The 24-year-old Jaime Harks Jr. averaged 8.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.5 assists last season. He was once the most anticipated young force among the Heat's young forwards. Although there was a slight decline in the second season, his offensive and defensive attitude and team awareness just filled the gap in the Grizzlies' new lineup.

As for the future bargaining chip, the two first-round picks are in 2030 and 2032 respectively. This part belongs to the team's future insurance policy. Even if the record declines in the short term, it can be reshuffled by the draft. Especially considering that the Grizzlies have traded Bane during the offseason, the team has the possibility of directly shuffling the cards.

Of course, this deal is still in the prediction stage, and considering Coach Spoelstra's voice in the Heat, the previous conflicts between the management and Butler, Morant, who has thorny attributes, still has many unknown risks. Of course, maybe the Heat's iron-blooded culture is the redemption that players like him need.

If Morant can shift more energy from off the court to the court, from explosive talent to mature reading of the game, he has every chance to usher in a second growth in Miami, and once successful, then the Heat in the new season will probably be worth paying attention to.
