Jackson heads to the Jazz alongside John Konchar, Jock Landale and Vince Williams Jr. while the Grizzlies receive Walter Clayton Jr., Kyle Anderson, Taylor Hendricks, Georges Niang and three future first-round picks in return.
While receiving three first-round picks in exchange for Jackson, they now possess 13 first-round picks in the next seven years.
For the Jazz, the move indicates a new desire to make a postseason push next season. With a backcourt consisting of Jackson alongside Lauri Markkanen, the Jazz may have found a good fit.
In 45 games for Memphis this season, Jackson has averaged 19.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.5 blocks.
With a 19-29 record, the Grizzlies appear to be rebuilding and are reportedly taking offers for star point guard Ja Morant.
