How Jaren Jackson Jr. missing All-NBA could help the Lakers
Briefly

Jaren Jackson Jr.’s exclusion from the All-NBA team significantly impacts his contract opportunities with the Memphis Grizzlies, limiting potential earnings. Had he made the team, he could have signed a five-year extension worth $345.3 million. Instead, he’s in line for a four-year deal of up to $146.8 million unless the team creates additional cap space. The Grizzlies have maneuvered to possibly free up around $17.5 million through trades, allowing them to offer more lucrative terms to Jackson, but it would mean sacrificing other free agents like Santi Aldama.
Jackson's All-NBA omission severely limits his extension options, potentially costing him millions unless the Grizzlies can create sufficient cap space.
The Grizzlies' trade to dump salaries may allow them to renegotiate Jackson's contract, but it requires sacrificing their own free agents.
