Atlanta Hawks Receive: F Jerami Grant
Detroit Pistons Receive: F Danilo Gallinari, C Onyeka Okongwu and No. 20 pick
Jerami Grant put up the best statistical season of his career with the Detroit Pistons. He came into a poor franchise and immediately took over as the No. 1 option.
Grant has shown that he can carry the load on the offensive end and this added great value. Could the Pistons look to capitalize on his boosted production to help boost the team’s long-term rebuilding efforts around whoever is taken No. 1 overall in the 2021 NBA Draft?
If so, a team like the Atlanta Hawks that is ready to win right now but needs more firepower to get over the top would be an ideal trade suitor for Grant.
There is two years left on Grant’s contract so teams will see him as more than a rental. Danilo Gallinari and Onyeka Okongwu will lead the return of going back to Detroit. The Pistons would also get the 20th picking this year’s draft.

Let’s take a closer look and see how this NBA trade scenario centered around Jerami Grant would impact both the Atlanta Hawks and Detroit Pistons.
