Top Trade Destinations for Ja Morant After Desmond Bane Deal
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The NBA world was sent into a shockwave on Sunday when the Memphis Grizzlies decided to trade their starting guard, Desmond Bane, to the Orlando Magic in a deal and price that came as a surprise to many. The Grizzlies traded Bane to the Magic, and in exchange, Orlando received a major haul: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Cole Anthony, four unprotected first-round picks, and a first-round pick swap. Many were shocked by the trade, but immediately, people turned their attention to the future of Ja Morant in Memphis. It is clear as day that the Bane trade is an inch closer to rebuilding for Memphis. If that is indeed the case, Morant's days in Tennessee are numbered. With that likely being the case, Morant could have a new home this summer. Here are the top landing spots for the two-time All-Star. Ja Morant #12 of the Memphis Grizzlies warms up against the Oklahoma City Thunder during Game Three of the Western Conference First Round NBA Playoffs at FedExForum on April 24, 2025 in Memphis, Tennessee.

Photo byToronto Raptors The Raptors are a team that possesses a substantial collection of trade assets. For starters, they have high draft picks and salary cap flexibility. Additionally, they have an array of players whom they could include in a potential trade package for Morant. More importantly, the Raptors could use a point guard. Toronto has struggled to find its groove after its 2019 title, and a potential addition of Morant could help it pivot toward that direction. Miami Heat A potential trade sending Morant to Miami is undoubtedly one of the more intriguing possibilities. The Heat have found themselves stuck in neutral, and after a rough season, it might be time to reignite their competitive fire — something we've come to expect from them over the last 15 years. Miami remains a premier destination for star talent, and while some might raise concerns about Morant's fit in a city like that, the Heat could put together a compelling package for the 25-year-old guard. Sacramento Kings The Kings are a team that has been vocal about acquiring a point guard, and Morant fits that bill. Sacramento will be one of the few teams looking for a point guard. If Morant indeed becomes available, look for the Kings to agree to pursue him. Sacramento may not have the best draft capital in a potential trade, but they have assets like Domantas Sabonis, DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine, and Malik Monk that could be used in a trade for Morant.

New Photos Show That Kevin Costner & Christine Baumgartner May Not Have Buried the Hatchet Yet
It seems that despite finalizing their divorce and seemingly focusing on co-parenting, Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner can't seem to bury the hatchet. In photos (and eye-witness accounts) obtained by TMZ, Costner and Baumgartner were in attendance for their son Cayden's high school graduation in Santa Barbara. However, they were so far apart from one another throughout. More from SheKnows Kurt Russell & Goldie Hawn Are Allegedly Playing Matchmaker for a Newly-Single A-Lister While they were both in attendance for their son, they were on opposite ends of the school grounds to take pics with him. So while Baumgartner is planning a wedding, and Costner has moved on with his dating life, it seems the tension still hasn't died down. For those who don't know, Costner and Baumgartner divorced in 2024 after nearly 20 years together, but continue to co-parent their three children, named Cayden, Hayes, and Grace. Soon after their divorce, Baumgartner started dating her now-fiancé, Josh Connor. However, Costner alleged there was an overlap between their relationship and her new one. Baumgartner filed for divorce from the Yellowstone actor after nearly 20 years of marriage, citing 'irreconcilable differences' in the paperwork. Then, for about a year, Costner and Baumgartner's divorce played out quite publicly, with many jabs and back-and-forths based around their finances (specifically child support payments). (Fun fact: Along with his divorce from Baumgartner, Costner had another messy divorce from his first wife Cindy Silva, where he allegedly had an affair and she received an $80 million settlement.)Best of SheKnows Every Time Paris Jackson's Bold Red Carpet Fashion Took Our Breath Away Every Single Time Kate Middleton's Royal Fashion Made Us Stop in Our Tracks Ariana Madix, Kristen Stewart, & More Stars Who Had Dramatic Hair Changes
