The Lakers are expected to win 4-for-1 inside All-Star Jackson, and the Grizzlies are expected to release people.

Today's Grizzlies and Magic's 1-for-7 deals shocked the entire league, and both teams got their own needs. On June 16, Magic officially announced a deal with the Grizzlies. The Magic gave the 16th pick in the first round of 2025, the first round pick from the Suns in 2026, the Magic's 2028 and 2030 unprotected first round picks, as well as the 2029 first round pick swap rights (top 2 pick protection), and players Pope and Anthony. The Grizzlies sent core defender Bain to the Magic in exchange for Pope, Cole Anthony, and these four unprotected first-round picks and one first-round pick exchange right.

Bain was the Grizzlies' No. 30 pick in 2020, and his three-point shooting percentage in five seasons was as high as 41.2%. He is an absolute senior 3D player. Last season, he averaged 19.2 points and 5.3 assists per game, with a three-point shooting percentage of 39.2%. Pope performed poorly after winning the Magic's contract, averaging only 8.7 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists last season, but Anthony averaged 9.4 points, 3 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game, and still has great potential.

The Grizzlies have won the chips to strengthen the lineup and many future draft picks, while the Magic hopes to increase their strength now and add a quasi-All-star outside 3D player, which is more beneficial for them to break out of the East in the future. The Grizzlies send Bain out is basically considered to withdraw from the Western Conference Championship. Losing Bain, a player who can score 20 + 5 + 5 data per game, it is almost difficult for the Grizzlies to gain a foothold in the West. After all, when all players played last season, they ranked only eighth in the West and were easily eliminated by the Thunder in the first round.

Now it seems that the Grizzlies may have further trades. If they are willing to trade inside player Jackson, then the Lakers can act quickly and use Hachimura Hiroshi, plus the 2031 first-round pick, 2027 second-round pick, and Kneckett, 4 for 1 in exchange for this All-Star inside player.

Jackson has just been selected as the All-Star this season, 208cm tall, 110kg weight, and 25 years old. In the 2024-2025 season, he played 74 games in the regular season, averaging 29.8 minutes per game, scoring 22.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists, with a shooting percentage of 48.8% and a three-point shooting percentage of 37.5%. In the playoffs, he averaged 34.1 minutes per game, scoring 17.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.3 assists, with a shooting percentage of 41.3% and a three-point shooting percentage of 33.3%. He is strong inside, capable of defending and shooting three-pointers, and is an ideal insider for the Lakers.

If the Lakers are willing to speed up their pursuit of Jackson, the Grizzlies may be willing to let them go. The Grizzlies are willing to trade Jaren Jackson Jr., which can probably be based on the following three reasons: First, out of the team's need for reconstruction. The Grizzlies traded Bain to the Magic for multiple first-round picks, and this trading model seems to show that the team may start a reconstruction journey. By trading Jackson, the team can further obtain more draft picks or young players, accumulate resources for the team's future development and accelerate the reconstruction process.

Secondly, the Grizzlies will reduce salary pressure. Jackson has one year left for the four-year, $104 million contract, and his salary will be $23.4 million next season. If he renews the contract, he may have to provide a contract with an average annual salary of more than $50 million. Trading him can save the high fees required for early renewal, reduce the team's salary burden, and give the team more flexibility in salary space.

Third, the Grizzlies' tactical adjustment needs. After Bain leaves the team, the Grizzlies' tactical system may need to be rebuilt. If the team feels that Jackson's technical characteristics do not fit the new tactical direction, for example, the team wants to build a faster offensive system, and Jackson's offensive rhythm is relatively slow, then trading him can be exchanged for Hachimura and Knector who are more in line with tactical needs, and improve the team's overall combat effectiveness.

At the same time, the Lakers traded Jaren Jackson Jr. Jr. for the Grizzlies, and the reasons were quite good. First of all, you can enhance your inside strength. After the Lakers were traded, their inside strength dropped sharply, exposing problems such as losing many points in the inside and poor rebounding protection in the playoffs. Jaren Jackson Jr. is 2.08 meters tall and has an arm span of 2.27 meters. He is a top franchise protector. He averages 1.7 blocks per game and can effectively make up for the Lakers' inside defense, improve the intensity of the inside defense, and protect rebounds.

He is very suitable for Redick's tactical system. Jaren Jackson Jr. has the height of a center but has the ability to move as a power forward, has high pick-and-roll down efficiency, and has accurate three-point shooting ability. The Lakers have two superstars with the ball, James and Doncic. These characteristics of Jackson can not only relieve the pressure of Doncic and James in the ball, but also open up space for the team's offense. It perfectly adapts to Redick's offensive system, and can improve the team's overall offensive efficiency.

Third, he can alleviate the problem of aging of the Lakers' lineup. 40-year-old James' shooting percentage dropped in the end of the playoffs, and his physical fitness bottleneck was obvious. Jackson is only 25 years old, and he is in his prime and has great potential. His arrival can inject youthful vitality into the team. After James retires, he is expected to become one of the team's future core players, helping the team to achieve the transition from old to new core lineup, and keeping the Lakers competitive.

In the free agent market, if the Lakers win the Hawks inside player Capela again, the Lakers can form Capela, Jackson, James, Doncic, and Rivers Jr.'s starting five tigers. There are also Finney Smith, Van Debiao, Vincent and other good players on the bench. It is definitely not a dream to strive for the championship. In this way, the team will be in an offensive and defensive manner, and at the same time, form a new future trio of Jackson, Doncic and Rivers, so that the team can maintain competitiveness for a long time.. Once this deal can be reached, the Lakers' strength will be further improved next season, solving the embarrassing situation of no one available inside, and also obtaining an All-Star player, which makes the team's future full of hope.
