Since Jaren Jackson Jr. signed a $239.9 million contract extension with the Memphis Grizzlies, he has become eligible for trade discussions, particularly amid speculation about Ja Morant’s future. Rival executives believe that if Morant is traded, Jackson could be next, given his status as a two-time All-Star and Defensive Player of the Year. Potential contenders for Jackson include the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers, both of whom could benefit significantly from his skills. The Grizzlies may prioritize acquiring young players and draft picks in any deal involving Jackson, aligning with their long-term strategy.
