Jerami Grant, Portland Trail Blazers, NBA Trade Rumors
NBA Analysis Network

The Detroit Pistons are currently an NBA worst 4-22 on the season, but they are one of the more attractive teams across the league ahead of the trade deadline this season. 

Currently rebuilding, the Pistons have a lot of young talents on their roster that they are not looking to trade away, but Jerami Grant is a big name that various playoff contending teams are monitoring. 

Now in his second season in Detroit, Grant has been the face of the Pistons’ rebuild, but only has one more year left on his contract and is a player that is drawing a significant amount of interest on the trade front. 

On Sunday, it was announced that Jerami Grant had sustained a UCL ligament sprain of his right thumb and will be out re-evaluated in six weeks, giving him a chance to return towards the end of January right before the All-Star break and trade deadline.

In 24 games this season, Grant has averaged 20.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists and has shot 41.4% from the floor, 33.1% from three-point range. 

Being a factor on either end of the floor and having the ability to play with or without the ball in his hands, Jerami Grant is a key high-level talent that could help many teams right away. 

According to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, the Los Angeles Lakers are interested in pursuing Jerami Grant in a trade, but so are the Portland Trail Blazers, who could really utilize a player like him next to Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum right now.

Portland is currently 11-16 on the season and they are on the verge of complete collapse. Something good needs to happen to this team and with very limited cap space, it is going to take a drastic move for this front-office to save the season at this point. 

Could this be the move that helps the Portland Trail Blazers remain threats in the Western Conference instead of having to rebuild? Let’s take a look at what this trade between the Pistons and Blazers would have to look like in order for the Blazers to have a chance at landing Jerami Grant.
