REPORT: Lakers Eyeing Jaren Jackson Jr. in Blockbuster Trade 👀
After the Grizzlies shocked the league by trading Desmond Bane, the Lakers are reportedly trying to pry away Defensive Player of the Year Jaren Jackson Jr.
🟣 Proposed Trade:
Lakers get: Jaren Jackson Jr.
Grizzlies get: Austin Reaves, Dalton Knecht, Maxi Kleber, and a 2031 1st-round pick
JJJ just averaged 22.2 PPG, 5.6 REB, 1.5 BLK, and shot 37.5% from 3 last season. He’s under contract through 2026 — but without an All-NBA nod, he’s not eligible for a supermax.
Some say now’s the time to trade and retool. Others say you don’t ship out your franchise anchor unless the offer is overwhelming… and this ain’t it.
Would you pull the trigger on this deal?
🔁 Run it back with Ja
📦 Reset and retool
🤔 Wait for a better offer
Let us know — because Memphis might be at a crossroads again.
