NBA Rumors: Multiple teams pursuing the trade of Jaren Jackson Jr.!
The news that the Grizzlies will entertain offers for one of their stars has immediately impacted the market
Although the 2025/26 NBA season has been underway for several weeks, it is important to remember that the transfer market remains open until late January / early February. In this context, facing the franchise's tough period, Memphis Grizzlies (4-6) has decided to entertain offers for one of its stars: Jaren Jackson Jr.
While there are currently no indications that the franchise plans to move its main star, Ja Morant, several league executives are already closely monitoring what is happening in Tennessee, especially regarding the name of Jaren Jackson Jr., whose contractual situation and sporting potential make him a highly coveted asset.
According to various sources in the NBA Rumors, Jackson Jr. would be the next major target on the radar of multiple rival teams if Memphis takes the step to trade Morant. The power forward, 26 years old, signed a massive contract extension last preseason, an agreement that would keep him tied to the franchise until the 2029-30 season with an estimated value of $240 million.
A scenario that could reshape Memphis' future
The core of the Grizzlies has been one of the most ambitious and young bets in recent years in the NBA, with Morant and Jackson Jr. as its pillars. However, the recent months have been marked by complicated decisions and strategic movements, such as the recent departure of Desmond Bane, traded for several first-round picks, sparking speculation about a possible organizational shift.
If the Memphis management ultimately decides to move Morant —a possibility currently seen as remote but not impossible—, trading Jackson as well could make sense from a structural perspective. This way, the team could opt for a complete rebuild, focusing on a young group led by Cedric Coward, Zach Edey, and Jaylen Wells, in addition to the multiple Draft picks they have already accumulated.
