"Paul: Jaren Jackson. Kellerman: Yeah, that would be a great fit. For whom? Paul: Well, that's the thing, because you gotta figure out the package. But some way, somehow, I would be trying to get Jaren Jackson, maybe get back GG Jackson-Jackson and Jackson Associates, because he's a young player that you can develop, got good size, can shoot the ball."
"Paul: You need that anchor, and Jaren doesn't want to be a part of a rebuild. They just put Ja Morant on the market, right, saying they're willing to trade him, etc. [...] Now, the package just goes out, is what you have to decide. Because if you're able to trade out [expiring contracts] and give up the last first-round pick you got, that could be one scenario, right? Or you could say, let me withhold that."
Rich Paul, CEO of Klutch Sports Group and longtime agent to LeBron James, proposed specific Los Angeles Lakers trade targets on his podcast with Max Kellerman. Paul suggested the Lakers target the Memphis Grizzlies for Jaren Jackson and discussed possible package constructions, including moving expiring contracts and a recent first-round pick. Paul referenced Ja Morant trade chatter and the need for an anchor player for teams building around Luka Dončić. Paul also raised the possibility of including Austin Reaves despite his popularity and impending salary, noting a need to balance team interests and player outcomes.
