Memphis Grizzlies Wiretap

Jock Landale and the Memphis Grizzlies have agreed to a contract. Landale recently cleared waivers after being let go by the Houston Rockets.

Memphis is trading Jay Huff to the Indiana Pacers, in a deal to create cap space to renegotiate-and-extend Jaren Jackson Jr. That left the Grizzlies shorthanded in the frontcourt as both Jackson and Zach Edey will enter training camp coming off offseason surgeries. Jackson had surgery for turf toe and Edey had surgery on a troublesome ankle.

Landale averaged 4.8 points and 3.3 rebounds in 11.9 minutes per game for the Rockets last season.

The Indiana Pacers are acquiring Jay Huff from the Memphis Grizzlies. Indiana will send Memphis a second-round round pick, as well as the rights to swap a future second-round pick.

Memphis will clear a bit more room under the salary cap, as they create the room necessary to renegotiate-and-extend the contract of Jaren Jackson Jr.

The Pacers get some additional center depth on an affordable contract in Huff. In his most extensive NBA action last season, Huff averaged 6.9 points and nearly a block per game in 11.7 minutes per night off the Grizzlies bench.

Jaren Jackson Jr. will need to undergo a procedure to repair a turf toe injury in his right foot. Jackson suffered the injury during a live basketball run offsite, which was evaluated on Monday.

An update and preliminary timeline will be provided following the procedure, but Jackson is expected to make a full recovery.

Jackson and the Memphis Grizzlies also agreed to a five-year, $240 million renegotiate-and-extend contract as free agency opened on Monday.

Last season, Jackson averaged 22.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 102. steals and 1.5 blocks in 29.8 minutes across 74 games.

The Memphis Grizzlies are working with Cole Anthony on his exit that creates cap space for the team to finalize their renegotiate-and-extend deal with Jaren Jackson Jr.

The Grizzlies acquired Anthony as part of their Desmond Bane deal with the Orlando Magic. Anthony is on a $13.1 million deal this season while his $13.1 million for 2026-27 is a team option. Anthony signed a three-year, $39.1 million extension with the Magic in October 2023.

Anthony averaged 9.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 18.4 minutes across 67 games for the Magic.

Ty Jerome and the Memphis Grizzlies have agreed to a three-year, $28 million contract with a player option for Year 3. The Grizzlies will use their room midlevel exception to sign Jerome.

Jerome leaves the Cleveland Cavaliers after a breakout season. Jerome will give the Grizzlies depth in the backcourt after trading away Desmond Bane.

Cam Spencer and the Memphis Grizzlies have agreed to a two-year, $4.5 million deal that is fully guaranteed. Spencer is represented by Ross Aroyo, Mark Bartelstein and  Torrian Jones.

Spencer was a late second round pick by the Grizzlies in 2024 out of UConn and spent last season on a Two-Way contract.

Spencer appeared in 25 games with the Grizzlies, averaging 4.2 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 10.1 minutes. Spencer also averaged 23.5 points, 3.6 rebounds and 3.5 assist in 32.2 minutes across eight G League games.

Santi Aldama and the Memphis Grizzlies have agreed to a three-year, $52.5 million deal. Aldama was expected to receive significant interest as a restricted free agent. Aldana's qualifying offer was just $5.9 million.

Aldama, who is represented by Max Saidman, Steven Heumann, Aaron Mintz and Austin Brown, averaged 12.5 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists to go with a PER of 16.6 last season.

The Grizzlies also signed Jaren Jackson Jr. to a new contract as free agency opened.

Jaren Jackson Jr. and the Memphis Grizzlies have agreed to a five-year, $240 million maximum renegotiate-and-extend deal. The Grizzlies entered the offseason prioritizing signing Jackson to a long-term contract. Because Jackson didn't win Defensive Player of the Year or make an All-NBA team, the Grizzlies had to do a renegoatied deal in order to give Jackson his max deal. Jackson is represented by Austin Brown and Max Saidman of CAA.

Memphis is resetting their team this offseason following their trade of Desmond Bane to the Orlando Magic, but will continue building around Jackson and Ja Morant.

Jackson would have been an unrestricted free agent next offseason without the extension as he was on a $23.4 million expiring contract. Jackson will hold a player option for the final season of the deal.

Last season, Jackson averaged 22.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.5 blocks in 74 games. Jackson won Defensive Player of the Year in 2023.

The Memphis Grizzlies could secure an agreement with Ty Jerome at the start of free agency on a deal starting at $9 million to $10 million per season, rival teams tell The Stein Line. Jerome is expected to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers following his breakout season after the team acquired Lonzo Ball.

Jerome had been looking for a deal that will start around the Non-Taxpayer Mid-Level Exception amount of $14.1 million. Jerome is expected to talk with multiple teams once free agency opens.

Jerome, who is represented by Mark Bartelstein and Kieran Piller, averaged 12.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 3.4 assists and a PER of 20.8 last season.

The Memphis Grizzlies are looking to trade Cole Anthony, sources told Marc Stein of The Stein Line and Jake Fischer of The People's Insider.
