The Grizzlies <\/a>have started to search for a new home for Ja Morant, with the Kings <\/a>recently coming up as a possible suitor.<\/p>\n

It has been reported as unlikely to happen, unless the Grizzlies<\/a> are interested in a specific trade package that the Kings<\/a> would be willing to offer.<\/p>\n

What assets would the Kings trade away to get Ja Morant?<\/p>\n

NBA <\/a>insider Marc Stein<\/a> reported, “I must confess that some chatter to the contrary over the weekend has circulated suggesting that Sacramento’s position could change if Memphis was prepared to accept a package headlined by DeMar DeRozan, Devin Carter and some level of draft capital.”<\/p>\n

The Kings have been all over the place over the past few years, as they’ve gone through coaching changes, personnel changes and have made several trades.<\/p>\n

Getting rid of DeMar DeRozan’s contract is something that the Kings have been trying to navigate recently, and they’d love to do it by putting him in a deal for a younger player like Morant.<\/p>\n

There have already been reports that teams have interest in a handful of the Kings’ other players, so there could be a lot of movement in Sacramento in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

Aquiring Morant still seems unlikely, as the Grizzlies could field better offers from other teams than the one the Kings would be willing to propose.<\/p>\n

The grey area around the draft compensation that the Kings would give up does leave more questions than answers, so that could be a deciding factor in whether this deal would appeal to the Grizzlies or not.<\/p>\n

It’s interesting to see the Kings go after a point guard just a season after trading away De’Aaron Fox and a few seasons after parting ways with Tyrese Haliburton who turned out to be a star in the NBA.<\/p>\n
