The Utah Jazz have struck a major deal with the Memphis Grizzlies, acquiring forward Jaren Jackson Jr. as the centerpiece of a six-player swap, league sources told ESPN’s Shams Charania.
Utah will also receive John Konchar, Jock Landale and Vince Williams Jr., according to the report.
Memphis, opting for a long-term approach, will add Walter Clayton, Kyle Anderson, Taylor Hendricks and Georges Niang plus three future first-round selections.
ESPN’s Bobby Marks noted the Grizzlies now control 13 first-round picks over the next seven years, matching the draft capital held by the Thunder and Nets.
The move sends Niang to his fourth team in the past 12 months and reunites the forward with former Cavaliers teammate Ty Jerome in Memphis—assuming the Grizzlies keep him on the roster.
No timetable for an official league announcement was provided.
