Jaren Jackson Jr. looked to his right before answering the question. "His locker's right here. That was my dog," he said. "The way he thought about the game, the effort he puts into the game, it's crazy. A lot of early mornings, a lot of late nights with him." Jackson was talking about David Roddy, the second-year forward who had been his teammate up until a few hours earlier. Roddy was traded to the Phoenix Suns as part of a three-team trade that brought forwards Yuta Watanabe and Chimezie Metu to the Grizzlies.
Shams Charania: Reunion: Memphis is expected to acquire Yuta Watanabe from Suns as part of this three-team trade, sources said. Suns are sending out three other minimum salaries -- Keita Bates-Diop, Jordan Goodwin, Chimezie Metu -- too.
