For this late in the offseason, this would be a pretty big trade between the Memphis Grizzlies and Detroit Pistons. The Grizzlies acquire the biggest name in this deal in Jerami Grant.

Grant was looking for a bigger role in the offseason and the Pistons were willing to give him that opportunity. It worked out well for both sides as Grant played well as a go-to guy. Now, the Pistons are cashing in again on his high trade value.

Joining Grant in Memphis is Josh Jackson. Jackson had a 22 game stint with the Grizzlies during the 2019-20 season and had one of his more productive seasons in his four-year career.

Heading to Detroit is a solid package. Dillon Brooks headlines it and provides them with a go-to scoring option to help the young players on the team. Tyus Jones is a solid option to come off the bench behind Cade Cunnigham to run the offense.

Brandon Clarke could be an option to slide right into the starting power forward that is being vacated by Grant in this deal. He has great per-minute stats and just needs a bigger opportunity to produce.

The two first-round picks are a nice pick-up for Detroit as well. They can add two more young players to their roster, but trade is more likely. They have their core in place and now have more assets to trade for an established veteran to help push them closer to being out of their rebuild.

How does each team feel about this deal? Let’s take a look at it from each team’s perspective, starting with the Grizzlies.
