Jaren Jackson Jr. traded to the Utah Jazz

Never thought Ainge would come off so many picks.

 

3 first rounder by Danny Ainge is shocking.

 

[Fischer] The Utah Jazz are trading their most favorable 2027 first-round pick (Cleveland/Minnesota/Utah), the Lakers' 2027 first-round pick, and Phoenix's 2031 first-round pick to Memphis, source says, to pry Jaren Jackson Jr. from the Grizzlies.

 

This is just foul. Like a trade an ai would make

 

I guess Utah is going for the mediocre route.

 

Who would've thought Morant would be the last one standing?

Grizzlies have gotten 7 first round picks between Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr.

Not bad but they should've gotten off Morant while his stock was the highest.

Grizz getting off that treadmill.

Spoiler

 

For a man with that type of contract that averages 6 rebounds a game. I thought Memphis was stupid for giving him that contract. And the Jazz giving all that up for said stupid contract. Good. I will always hate the Jazz. 81 million right now for the Utah Jazz for the two PFs. Wtf.

 

Are the people of Utah happy with Ainge?
Is he on the hot seat?

The Grizzlies have also created a massive $28.8 million trade exception in this deal -- the largest ever in the NBA, per @BobbyMarks42.

 

Jazz think they're done tanking? Interesting

 

lol what is this trade? I thought Utah was gonna be tanking? Well… maybe they are still tanking, not like JJJ will help much lol

 

Holy cow!!

Utah taking the handbrake off. Let's see if this works for them?

Memphis tank commanders reporting for duty

 

Actually it is also Brandon Clarke, but peeps always forget about him.

 

Has Ainge lost his touch? If Lauri remains injury-prone and up-and-down he might have the two worst contracts in the league on that squad.

15-35 and deciding to be a buyer. I don't get it.

 

Coward, Wells, Aldama etc. could still keep them at 11-12th spot.
