The Utah Jazz rebuild may finally be coming to an end. NBA Trade Grades: Did The Jazz Get Revenge On Grizzlies With Triple J Trade, & What The Trade Means For Utah Going Forward In a surprising move, Utah acquired Jaren Jackson Jr.
After weeks of reports saying that the Jazz were likely not going to make any big moves at the trade deadline, Utah’s front office dropped a nuke on the NBA landscape that nobody — Jazz fan or not — saw coming.
The Utah Jazz made the biggest swing of the 2026 NBA trade deadline thus far with their move to acquire Jaren Jackson Jr. from the Memphis Grizzlies, giving up a package of Walter Clayton Jr., Taylor Hendricks, Kyle Anderson, Georges Niang, and three future first-round picks for the former Defensive Player of the Year.
Good players tend to succeed in the NBA. Sometimes, though, they find themselves in terrible situations but still find ways to over-achieve. These are the 20 players who carried the worst NBA teams.
The Utah Jazz made a big splash by trading three future picks and two prospects to the Memphis Grizzlies for Jaren Jackson Jr., a trade that gives the Jazz both a star and one of the biggest starting lineups in the NBA.
The Ja Morant era with the Memphis Grizzlies peaked with two second-place Western Conference finishes and a second-round exit. Now Morant remains, but the Grizzlies have completed a dramatic and lucrative teardown of their team.
There is nothing too surprising about the Grizzlies essentially giving up on their current core, but Jackson’s name did not heavily feature in trade rumors.
The NBA began awarding the Defensive Player of the Year following the 1982-83 season. Since then, the award has been given out 42 times. How many of the 42 can you name in five minutes?
The Grizzlies and Jazz have agreed to a blockbuster trade, according to Shams Charania of ESPN. Utah is acquiring Jaren Jackson Jr. in a massive swing for a franchise cornerstone.
The NBA trade deadline is right around the corner, meaning time is ticking for the Utah Jazz and the rest of the league to make a few final deals and tweaks to their rosters to prepare them for the remainder of the season.
