Despite just renegotiating and extending his contract with the Memphis Grizzlies last summer, Jaren Jackson Jr. may have officially entered “other teams believe he will be traded” territory.
Speaking on a recent episode of The Zach Lowe Show, Zach Lowe dropped a throwaway comment about the Cleveland Cavaliers that should pique the attention of the Grizzlies, and their fans.
“They had dreams of ‘Could we get into the Giannis derby?’’ Lowe says, at around the 11:58 mark of the podcast. “‘Could we chase a big man like [Domantas] Sabonis, like a JJJ?’”
The tenor of this discussion hovers somewhere between speculation, and sourced.
