Pat Riley's distressed-star senses have to be tingling. The Miami Heat president always has an eye out for potential bargains within the NBA's elite ranks, and it sure feels like Ja Morant could wind up in the bargain bin amid a disastrous start with the Memphis Grizzlies.
The Heat will surely give Morant a look. Even with Norman Powell proving he was this summer's biggest steal, Kel'el Ware reminding folks of his sky-high potential, and Jaime Jaquez Jr. throwing his hat into the Sixth Man of the Year race, Miami remains without the kind of game-changing star who could help this club gain traction in the championship race.
