The regrouping Memphis Grizzlies are in an interesting position after being swept from the postseason. Ja Morant figuring out the Oklahoma City Thunder before getting undercut by Lu Dort provided a little comfort going into the summer break.
The Grizzlies will receive Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Cole Anthony, a first-round pick swap and four unprotected first-round picks. The picks are for 2025, 2026, 2028 and 2030. A first-round pick swap in 2029 is also top-two protected.
While stacking draft capital is a rebuilding type of move, the Grizzlies don't want to deal Morant or Jackson, via ESPN's Tim Bontemps. Morant is under contract through 2028, but Jackson is scheduled to hit free agency next summer, and the Grizzlies have already decided they want to extend him.
