This Grizzlies-Pistons Trade Involves Jerami Grant To Memphis

Jerami Grant, Memphis Grizzlies, NBA Trade Rumors
NBA Analysis Network

The Detroit Pistons have continued their long rebuilding process this NBA season and they are currently a league-worst 5-27 on the year, but they are starting to put the pieces in place to build a strong looking future. 

General manager Troy Weaver knew he would have his work cut out for him when he became a part of the Pistons front-office in 2020, but he has done a really nice job of adding talent to this team.

Signing Jerami Grant ended up being one of the best moves any team made last offseason and with Saddiq Bey, Isaiah Stewart and now No. 1 overall pick Cade Cunningham, there is definitely a lot to like about the Detroit Pistons. 

Obviously losing is something this organization would like to change, but they are set to end up with another Top-5 pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, allowing them to continue building what should be a strong looking young core.

At the NBA trade deadline this season, Detroit is not expected to be busy looking to add talent to their roster, but teams will definitely be showing interest in some of their players.

Cory Joseph and Kelly Olynyk are both veterans who the Pistons could look to trade, but recent rumors suggest that the team could be open to listening to offers for their star forward in Jerami Grant. 

According to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, Jerami Grant is one of the “most sought-after players” on the trade market this season. Charania also stated that “Dozens of teams call the Detroit front office about Grant each week,” which leads us to believe that the Pistons could be open to trading the 27-year-old forward. 

Having just one year left on his contract after this season and playing the best basketball of his career, it is no surprise to see Grant drawing as much trade interest as he has. Being a real two-way threat on the wing and averaging 21.6 points per game since joining the Pistons last season, Jerami Grant could solve many team’s problems in this league.

While they have been great this season and are currently the 4-seed in the Western Conference, the Memphis Grizzlies are a team to keep an eye on leading up to the NBA trade deadline this season. Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr. and others have this young team in position to compete in the West, but it does seem like they are missing that one other star-like talent. 

Could Jerami Grant be the missing piece for the Grizzlies to turn themselves into real championship contenders? Many people are sleeping on Memphis this season because they are so young and do not really have “household” names other than Ja Morant, but they truly are one of the more balanced teams in the league.

Adding Grant to this roster could wind up making them real threats next to the Suns, Warriors and Jazz in the Western Conference, which is why they could pursue a trade with the Detroit Pistons this season. 

Let’s take a look at what the Memphis Grizzlies could look to offer up in order to acquire Jerami Grant and improve their overall roster talent.
