There's nothing that's going to get in the way of the Miami Heat landing Ja Morant, if that's truly what Pat Riley wants. Not even the possibility of a negative past relationship between Morant and Noah LaRoche.
NBA insider Jake Fischer made that much clear when he noted that Riley wouldn't let a past relationship between LaRoche and Morant get in the way of the Heat landing the star guard. Of course, that's if Riley really wants Morant.
And that's the biggest question that needs to be answered.
The Heat want Ja Morant, but at their cost
With everything that has been reported, it's pretty clear that the Heat does have some level of interest in Morant.
