Smashed $325 million in a day! Grizzlies operated four consecutive times, Jackson renewed his maximum salary and firmly held his position

On July 1, the 2025 NBA free agent market officially opened. The Memphis Grizzlies operated continuously, renewing Jeran Jackson Jr. for 5 years and $240 million in advance, renewing Aldama for 3 years and $52.5 million in three years and $28 million in three years and $4.5 million in Spencer; the Grizzlies spent $325 million to build the team, Jackson and Morant continued to lead the team.

reporter Shams reported that Jaren Jackson and the Grizzlies reached an early contract renewal agreement. The new contract is a five-year, $240 million maximum salary contract, and the last year is the player option; the Grizzlies will lock in the cornerstone of the team for a long time and give priority to renewing the contract with them to start the offseason.

ESPN salary expert Bobby Marks revealed that after re-signing and renewing the contract in advance, Jaren Jackson Jr.'s salary in the 2025-26 season became $33 million, and the salary in the next four seasons was $46.2 million, $49.896 million, $53.592 million and $57.288 million respectively.

It is reported that in order to make room for Jackson's contract renewal, the Grizzlies plan to abandon Cole Anthony, who was sent to the Grizzlies in the Bain trade.

It is reported that Jackson Jr. decided to change the player number after renewing his big contract. He will give up No. 13 in the new season and change to the Grizzlies No. 8 jersey.

Renewing Jackson is the Grizzlies' top priority this summer. Jackson, 25, became the only player in the league to reach at least 1,500 points + 100 blocks last season, and scored at least 100 three-pointers + 100 blocks in four consecutive seasons. In the 2024-25 season, Jackson played 74 games for the Grizzlies, averaging 22.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.2 steals per game; due to failure to win the MVP or win DPOY or enter the best team in the 2024-25 season, Jaren Jackson missed the 5-year, $345 million super maximum salary contract.

In addition to renewing Jackson Jr., the Grizzlies continued to operate. According to famous reporter Shams, the Grizzlies and Aldama renewed the three-year, $52.5 million new contract, and the Grizzlies and Cam Spencer renewed the two-year, $4.5 million full guarantee contract; the Grizzlies also signed Jerome and signed a three-year, $28 million contract with him.

The Grizzlies have made a huge profit of $325 million today, determining Jackson Jr.'s core position, leaving Aldama and Spencer, and signing Jerome. Last season, the Grizzlies made it into the playoffs through the playoffs and were swept out 4-0 by the Thunder in the first round. How far can Morant and Jackson lead the team in the new season? Let's wait and see.
