Memphis Trade Dilemma Jaren Jackson Jr or Ja Morant?

Merlin sees a shifting seam in Memphis. The Grizzlies are fielding interest in Jaren Jackson Jr., with the Boston Celtics and Detroit Pistons among the teams sniffing around. Reports say "various teams across the league" want Jackson while Memphis has, per Shams Charania, at times "entertained offers" for Ja Morant and considered building around Jackson. Jackson is a former Defensive Player of the Year averaging 18.8 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks, and he shoots 37.5 percent on catch and shoot threes this season. Merlin senses the tug of urgency. Jackson’s mix of rim protection and spacing makes him a fit for contenders, but if Memphis parts with Morant, Jackson may resist a long rebuild. The Feb 5 trade deadline looms like a witching hour. Moves here could remake the West and ripple to the East.
