NBA Trades: 6 Jerami Grant trades to help the Detroit Pistons
By Corey Rausch
The rumor mill never stops churning, not even for teams at the bottom of the standings. Despite the Detroit Pistons dropping 12 games in a row and comfortably sitting in last place, they have been a focal point of the upcoming trade season.
After a little more than a year in his new role, Jerami Grant is reportedly firmly on the trade block. While this may not be in earnest just yet, it is worth considering what the Pistons could look to bring back in a trade involving Grant.
As trade season dawns, Jerami Grant is reportedly one of the names many teams are focusing on. What would a possible return for the Detroit Pistons look like?
The timeline and roster makeup for Detroit changed drastically with the drafting (and blossoming) of Cade Cunningham. No longer is Jerami Grant relied on to be the leading isolation threat for the team.
Pivoting makes sense for both sides. Grant has proved himself capable of a bigger role than he had in previous stops and now should be able to go contribute to winning. For the Pistons, youth and financial flexibility are the keys. Bringing back young talent to grow with the current core or draft capital to add to it down the line should take priority.
Today, we will look at five possible returns that would help both sides pursue their goals. While this may be the ultimate framework that gets the deal done, understanding what to expect should whet plenty of fans’ appetites.
