After signing a new contract with the Memphis Grizzlies this past offseason, Jaren Jackson Jr. has officially become trade-eligible six months later. With the trade deadline approaching, that means the window for the Portland Trail Blazers to land their dream trade target is now Jan. 13 - Feb. 5.
While Jackson previously appeared to be in "pipe dream" territory, it's suddenly become increasingly likely that the Grizzlies would be willing to part ways with their star frontcourt piece. Memphis' season hasn't gone as expected, as they currently sit 10th in the Western Conference with a 17-22 record. As a result, they are now exploring trade offers for their other star, Ja Morant.
