It seems that a mediocre 16-21 start to the season isn’t bad enough for the Memphis Grizzlies. Now the club is on the verge of trading star guard Ja Morant, according to reports.

A deal would end a tumultuous seven-year run for Morant, the 2019 NBA Rookie of the Year.

He is in the third season of a five-year, $197.2 million contract, but it appears team leadership has soured on the Murray State ballhandler, officially entertaining trade offers for the 26-year-old guard. With that in mind, the team at Bookies.com, as part of our NBA betting insight, broke down possible Ja Morant next team odds.

Ja Morant Next Team Odds (Before 2026 trade deadline)

These odds are exclusive to Bookies, where we review sports betting apps and cover the latest sports topics.

Where Ja Morant Might End Up

Morant’s seventh NBA season has been a low point in all facets. He is averaging career lows in minutes per game (28.3), field goals (6.6) and effective field goal percentage (42.9%).

He has averaged 19.0 points in 18 games this season, but his time in Bluff City might have reached its end. The Grizzlies are 16-21, clinging to the last play-in spot in the Western Conference. DraftKings Sportsbook lists Memphis at +200000 to win the NBA title as of Jan. 9.

We still favor Memphis to keep Morant, at +200 odds, but other contenders to land him include the Sacramento Kings (+350), Minnesota Timberwolves (+500), Miami Heat (+650) and Milwaukee Bucks (+800).

Of the leading contenders to land him, the Timberwolves (fourth in the Western Conference) and Heat (seventh in the East) are currently on pace to make the NBA’s postseason, either via the play-in bracket or as a direct qualifier (in their conference’s top six).

Customers using the BetMGM bonus code can get +3000 odds on the T-wolves to win the championship, while Miami is at +6600.

Who Else Could Land Morant?

Among the longshots to swoop in and put a deal together for Morant’s services are the Los Angeles Lakers, who check in at +1200, followed by the Toronto Raptors at +1400.

The Lakers could use Morant’s talents, as the 23-12 start out in the City of Angels has come despite a slew of injuries. LeBron James, Austin Reaves and Maxi Kleber are among those who have missed time, thinning the team’s depth and leaving a void in the backcourt that a seven-year veteran such as Morant could fill in 2026 and beyond.

The Raptors, another team in the middle of the pack for futures odds at top sports betting sites, are one of the NBA’s greatest success stories this season., Toronto (23-15) is fourth in the East and could use a player of Morant’s caliber to give the club a shot in the arm heading into the home stretch of the league calendar.

One way or another, it looks like a divorce is coming for Ja Morant and the Grizzlies. The latest trade speculation whirling around Memphis is the latest chapter in a saga that has been full of drama.
