Why This Trade Makes Sense For The Indiana Pacers
The Indiana Pacers need to add speed, shooting, and general versatility on the wing alongside Domantas Sabonis and Malcolm Brogdon as NBA All-Star caliber talents. A forward like Jerami Grant from the Detroit Pistons could be a near-perfect answer.
The Pacers are currently shining with Domantas Sabonis and Malcolm Brogdon and could certainly use Jerami Grant to help add a consistent shooter to the starting five. Myles Turner’s rim protection is vital but at some point, the team needs to pick between their centers.
TJ Warren has been out for the majority of the season with an injury and Jerami Grant could help ease a lot pain at the power forward position. Once Warren is back in the fold, the Pacers would have quite an intriguing lineup that can get up the floor and attack mismatches in the half-court.

Grant has the ability to play both forward spots and he could be an NBA All Star level talent with the Pacers talent surrounding him. Grant is too talented of a player to be playing for a rebuilding team and the Pacers could give him a shot at playing postseason basketball.
