The Memphis Grizzlies are in position to have more flexibility for a Jaren Jackson Jr. extension after the Desmond Bane trade.

The Celtics selected Bane with the 30th overall pick in the 2020 draft and traded him on draft night for a pair of future second-round picks. Five years later, Bane has established himself as a consistent and efficient scorer, the kind of piece that a playoff team would pay a premium price for as a second or third option.
