The Memphis Grizzlies are trading Jaren Jackson Jr.
Jackson Jr., 26, is being traded to the Utah Jazz. The former Michigan State Spartans star is being shipped out in a massive package. Eight players in total are involved in the two-team trade.
ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania reported the breaking news.
"The Memphis Grizzlies are trading star forward Jaren Jackson Jr., John Konchar, Jock Landale and Vince Williams Jr. to the Utah Jazz for Walter Clayton Jr., Kyle Anderson, Taylor Hendricks, Georges Niang and three future first-round picks, sources tell ESPN," he reported on Tuesday.
Jackson Jr. is averaging 19.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game. He's shooting 47.5 percent from the field.
The big question with the Grizzlies moving forward, now, is what they do with All-Star point guard Ja Morant?
Morant has been on the trading block for a couple of months now. By trading Jackson, you would think that a trade involving Morant could be next. The Grizzlies parted ways with Desmond Bane prior to the season, too.
Where do you see Ja Morant landing if the Memphis Grizzlies decide to trade the former top NBA Draft pick prior to the deadline this year?
