NBA Rumors: Grizzlies, Ja Morant, Heat, Pelicans, Bennedict Mathurin, Lakers

Getty Grizzlies Things did not fall apart overnight in Memphis. They finally snapped into view. According to Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints, tensions between Ja Morant and the Grizzlies reached a breaking point in late October, when Morant was issued a one-game team suspension. The flashpoint came after a loss to the Lakers, when head coach Tuomas Iisalo questioned Morant’s leadership and effort. Morant, sources say, pushed back in a tone the organization did not appreciate. The aftermath lingered. Siegel reports the incident created a real divide in the locker room, with some players siding with Morant and others backing the coaching staff. Morant never formally asked for a trade, but made it clear internally that he did not see a workable path forward after the suspension. Interest is out there. The Heat remain intrigued, per Siegel. The Kings are also monitoring the situation, though sources stress Sacramento would only engage if the price dropped significantly. Draft assets are not on the table from the Kings’ side. Pelicans The Pelicans are among several teams showing interest in Bennedict Mathurin, league sources told Siegel. Indiana, meanwhile, has checked in on second-year center Yves Missi, raising the possibility of a framework that could link the two players. Nothing appears imminent, but exploratory conversations are happening. Lakers The Lakers continue to look creative with their limited assets. Kevin O’Connor of Yahoo Sports reports the Lakers have explored the idea of flipping their 2032 first-round pick into multiple lower-value firsts, similar to a move Phoenix executed last year. As part of those discussions, Jarred Vanderbilt and Gabe Vincent have been made available as Los Angeles hunts for a wing upgrade. Whether that leads anywhere depends on how much value rival teams place on a pick that far down the calendar.

NBA trade proposal sends Jonathan Kuminga to Mavs, Klay Thompson to Warriors

Getty Nobody ever accused the NBA trade rumor season of lacking imagination. This one checks that box. Bleacher Report’s Grant Hughes tossed out a three-team scenario that tries to solve a few different problems at once — Jonathan Kuminga’s unhappiness in Golden State, Dallas’ youth pivot, and the Warriors’ ongoing search for help now. Let’s take a look: Warriors receive Daniel Gafford Klay Thompson Mavericks receive Jonathan Kuminga Georges Niang Jazz receive Buddy Hield 2027 first-round pick swap (via Golden State) From Golden State’s side, this is part nostalgia tour, part roster correction. Thompson coming home scratches the sentimental itch for a franchise that knows the Curry-Green-Klay window is closer to closing than reopening. Gafford, meanwhile, would give them the kind of athletic center they’ve been hunting for since… well, basically forever. Dallas’ angle is simpler. Kuminga is young, talented, and still theoretically ascending. It’s the kind of swing that makes sense if the franchise is quietly aligning things around Cooper Flagg’s timeline. Niang’s expiring deal doesn’t hurt either. Utah does what Utah does. Take on a shooter, grab draft equity, stay flexible. Is it clean? Not really. Thompson isn’t peak Klay anymore. Gafford has durability questions. Kuminga’s value isn’t exactly soaring after months of DNPs and tension with Steve Kerr. But as a snapshot of where these teams are mentally? It fits. This is January NBA logic. If it makes some sense and sparks debate, it’ll get floated. Whether it survives contact with reality is another story.
