The Memphis Grizzlies have traded two-time All-Star forward Jaren Jackson Jr. to the Utah Jazz in a major deal involving eight players and multiple future first-round picks. Memphis received Walter Clayton Jr., Kyle Anderson, Taylor Hendricks, Georges Niang, and three future first-rounders, including picks from Minnesota, Cleveland, Utah, Los Angeles, and Phoenix. The trade marks a pivotal step in Memphis’s rebuild, giving them 13 first-round picks over the next seven drafts.
