Phoenix Suns Receive: F Jerami Grant, G Rodney McGruder
Detroit Pitons Receive: F Cameron Johnson, F Jae Crowder, F/C Dario Saric, 2024 First Round Pick, 2026 First Round Pick
The clear-cut focus of this NBA trade scenario would be Jerami Grant landing with the Phoenix Suns while the Detroit Pistons would add more assets to rebuild.
The net result of a deal of this nature from a salary cap standpoint would involve the Pistons taking on just $726K in extra salary. Each player involved aside from Rodney McGruder are signed through the 2022-23 season.
Cameron Johnson would be an intriguing option for the Pistons to add another catch-and-shoot threat on a rookie contract despite being 25-years-old. Jae Crowder would be another ‘3-and-D’ option, too.
Saric would be a non-impact player for the Pistons given he’s out for the season with an Achilles tear. Perhaps after he returns to the lineup he could be an interesting small ball center option to play with Cade Cunningham.
