Jaren Jackson Jr. Trade Rumors Heat Up: Why the Grizzlies Star Could Be the Biggest Name Moved Before Opening Night
Jaren Jackson Jr., the 2023 Defensive Player of the Year, is the most likely Memphis Grizzly to be traded before opening night according to Yahoo Sports. With a $112 million contract through 2028 and escalating trade chatter, the Grizzlies face a strategic choice: build around Jackson and Ja Morant or reset completely. Moving Jackson could free $34.5 million in cap space and yield multiple first-round picks, with the Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs expressing interest.
