What are the initial reactions to Jaren Jackson Jr.'s trade?
Hello, welcome back to the NBA Daily. Did you miss us? The Jaron Jackson Trade Emergency Podcast Edition. I'm Dave DeFore here with Andrew Schlecht and our good friend, host of the Grits and Grinds podcast, the Memphis Grizzlies podcast, Mr. Keith Parrish. Keith, sad day for you around your parts?
I feel sad. Yes, I am not the, uh, I'm still, we're all processing the trade. Yeah. The high five. We tore down a good team to get picks. You're never going to get the high five return for me. Yeah. So I'm saying what exactly is the plan? Jaren's extension hasn't even kicked in yet that it seemed like they've been jumping through hoops to sign him to. But I guess we can get more into that in a second. No, I'm in a state of mild, mild shock.
Yeah, but I like that you came in hot. Let's talk about the trade. OK, so. Jaron Jackson Jr. going to the Utah Jazz along with John Conchar, Jock Lawndale, and Vince Williams Jr. Memphis is going to get three future first-round picks. Walter Clayton Jr., Kyle Anderson, Taylor Hendricks, and Georges Niang. The reunion of Kyle Anderson and the Memphis Grizzlies is really the big story here. S. Baraheni just joined us. S., what were those picks that Utah is sending out?
Yeah, so Utah is sending out the most favorable of their 2027 pick between Cleveland, Minnesota, and Utah, which, spoiler alert, will be the Utah Jazz, probably, most likely there. And then the Lakers' 2027 first-round pick, And the Phoenix Suns, 2031 first round pick. And based on what the reports are, it seems like that's unprotected. So an unprotected 2031 Suns pick as well. Those are the three.
Before we go back to the Grizzlies side of this and blowing up a good team, Keith, let's talk about the Utah Jazz. They got the best player in the deal. Jaron Jackson Jr., Lowry Markin, and Keontae George seems like their young core of the future. That's pretty good. What a turnaround for Danny Ainge.
Yeah, I really like that. And on top of that, I'm curious to see what they end up doing to finish out this year, like if they tank. Obviously, they probably should because, as Grape8 just said, the Utah Jazz have a top eight predicted pick that might go to OKC if it's outside of the top eight. So I'm curious to see how much tanking and perhaps – Creative resting is what we should call it when it comes to load managing some of these guys towards the end of the year. Lowry Markman load managing a knee or an ankle a lot over the next 30 games, whatever you want to call it. I think that's going to happen because I think Utah will try to tank as much as possible to get one more guy to add to this core.
Now you might say Ace Bailey is that guy or someone else, but it would be a huge win if they could add one of the top picks here for the Jazz. So, yeah.
Well, one of the dangers of recording during trade deadline week, does this mean... Could they double dip the Jazz? Are we sure Larry Markkinen is part of their future? I mean, so they have the Walker Kessler free agency decision, but what if the Pistons have been offering... a monumental offer for Larry marketing and they're saying, all right, we got, we got Jaron, let's trade Larry. We'll get, we'll restock the cupboard again. So we don't, yeah, I don't know. But if it is a future where it's Larry and Jaron, that's an interesting front line. It doesn't, if you size up Larry for the three, I don't know. It doesn't feel like your normal, perfect starting four or five, especially with Ace Bailey and County George.
It's, that's a very interesting, It's not really the sturdiest front line as far as protecting the rim. I know Jaron's a shot blocker, but actually grabbing defensive rebounds and things. It's interesting, but we still have to wonder what are the next steps for the Jazz and what's their vision?
Yeah, this doesn't feel like a, hey, here's the finishing touches on our roster kind of thing. This seems like, hey, we can get Jaren Jackson for basically no premium players on our roster and three firsts. Yes. The Jazz, listen, I know they've had some success stories through the draft, but not enough success.
