NBA Trades: 3 trades for the Sacramento Kings with the 4th pick: Detroit Pistons
Kings receive: Jerami Grant, Kelly Olynyk, #46 Pick
Pistons receive: #4 Pick, Donte DiVincenzo
Now, this would be a blockbuster trade. This deal would fall under the latter of the two options outlined by Fischer, as the Kings would be trading out of the first round entirely.
Jerami Grant has been brought up in trade rumors for the past two years. He would be the perfect power forward to put alongside Domantas Sabonis in Sactown.
Grant would bring the perfect mix of shot-creation, shooting, and defense to the Kings’ lineup. He’s not elite in any of those areas, but he’s good enough to make a big-time impact for the Kings.
Meanwhile, Kelly Olynyk would be a solid backup big man in Sacramento. It would make potentially trading Richaun Holmes a lot easier, plus, Olynyk would give them some floor-spacing as well.
For the Detroit Pistons, this deal would see them pick at fourth and fifth overall in the upcoming draft. That would allow them to add a couple of great young pieces to their core.
Just imagine a combination of two of Jaden Ivey, Keegan Murray, Shaedon Sharpe, Bennedict Mathurin, and/or AJ Griffin next to Cade Cunningham, Saddiq Bey, and Isaiah Stewart.
The Kings would be able to effectively compete for a playoff spot while the Pistons would continue their rebuild by adding two top prospects. A true win-win trade.
