Jaren Jackson Jr. traded to the Jazz

[Flc]

But man, I hate this trade. I don't care about the guys we let go, to say the least, but people don't realize how meh JJJ has been for a while now. I mean he's played NOTHING like a max guy. He's a black hole who fouls constantly, can only hit wide open 3's and his rim protection has REALLY fallen off. Memphis realized a long time ago they can't build around him. Soft as hell.

Oh. Shocker. Tremendous Upside doesn't like the trade. You've been doing your little bitch dance for MONTHS now just whining and moaning and complaining about the tank strategy. Now the Jazz make a move and cash in assets, and of course, you're forlorn about this one too.

We really need you to work on being a happier and more fulfilled person. Are you getting enough exercise? Going to the gym? Eating three healthy meals a day? Have you reached out to your friends and family for support?

Do people not realize JJJ has averaged over 6 rebounds exactly once in his career?

He makes Lauri look like Dennis Rodman.

Ja Morant kills chances for OReb. Might be a system thing.

We are still tanking, RIGHT!? How will we do that!?

This is what makes or breaks this pick for me. If we don't tank we essentially gave up 4 first rounders. This year being a pick that would land us a top 8 pick.

If we tank A+
If not C-

Jazz MUST still try to keep their top 8 pick this year

I need a Jackpotting Around Emergency Pod with the fellas and Tony. Andy can come too if Tony says it's ok.

This is a generation draft we HAVE TO continue an aggressive tank. We need another elite ball handler on a rookie contract to make the money work and this draft is the best opportunity.

We still have 12.2M in a TPE we could use if we want to.

For everybody shooting down JJ Jr. and his performance lately, how was LM before the Jazz got him? JJ Jr. may just need a new situation. I am a pessimist, but I am hopeful about this.

This. We say a player will always be X, then there are Lauri's, and, hell, Key's, every year in this league. We have so many advanced stats dudes that only want x if they meet 22 criteria. Yeah, we all want the 3 total dudes that yield that today. Good luck, chuckle butt....

As of February 3, 2026, Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. is managing a quad injury that caused him to miss a game against the Minnesota Timberwolves on January 31, but he was considered active and available for the following matchup on February 2, 2026. He has mostly stayed healthy during the 2025-26 season.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Oh. Shocker.

... and a bunch of crying. Calm it with the personal attacks.

The trouble is that JJJ is not "big game" but he's paid like that. He's an overrated, overpaid soft big who doesn't pass and has zero dog in him.

Well that's about to change.
