Jaren Jackson JR, who does not do all-NBA, is both good and bad for grizzlies

The three annual all-NBA teams were unveiled, and Memphis Grizzlies Big Man, Jaren Jackson Jr., was nowhere to be found.

These are both good and bad news for the grizzlies.

Let us go into why this is so.

The contract puzzle

If Jackson Jr. had qualified for the Supermax, it would have made it possible for the grizzlies to exceed 140%, which is otherwise available. This means that the grizzlies could have signed it for a long -term deal, even if the final contract number is not the actual supermax itself.

Unnecessary to mention that the grizzlies would have preferred an extension option very much, provided that they should of course not be on the hook for the actual supermax of 345 million US dollars.

(We'll come back to it.)

Now that Jackson JR is not justified, the extension of 140% is in force, and that seems to be an ambitious basis for Memphis in order to build an expansion, since Jackson Jr. earns 23.4 million US dollars in his last year.

According to the extension limit, Jackson Jr. would consider a new contract with about 32.7 million US dollars.

In many ways, you can argue that this would be an absolutely reasonable number for what it offers on the ground, but as we all know, it is other teams that set the market.

Would Memphis be ready to run it at a higher price? It is difficult to imagine, because in view of the clear possibility, Jackson Jr.

The actual value on the pitch

We have only found that the value of a player is determined by the interest of the market, but there is no question that an actual supermax of 345 million dollars in five seasons would be a significant overpayment for what Jackson Jr. offers and memphis would hinder additional squad movements.

In many ways, the actual value of Jackson Jr.

Even if the two sides should agree to meet somewhere in the middle and to conclude a deal in the high 1940, the extension limit would not allow this, which essentially forces the grizzlies to do so, Jackson Jr.

So have the grizzlies lost here? Has Jackson Jr.

In the end, it could not matter whether the two sides are determined to extend their marriage when Jackson Jr. becomes a free agent. From now on it could be seen as a loss, not even to have flexibility, negotiating a deal, being satisfied with both sides. It is better to have options than not, even if the two sides do not find any similarities.
