Would this trade make sense for the Detroit Pistons?
The Detroit Pistons continue to be one of the worst teams in the NBA. This was expected coming into the season, which is why they are focused on developing the young talent on the roster.
Grant does not fit into the long-term plan for the franchise and this is why he is better off being used as a trade piece. Unless, of course, the Pistons are content with paying big money for a player who wants to be a top option but could overlap with Cade Cunningham as he develops.
Williams was one of the youngest prospects taken in the 2020 NBA Draft. He is still just 20 years old and has a high ceiling. This fits the bill for Detroit more than Grant. He signed a three-year deal and it is likely that both sides expected that the contract would not be completed.
Grant has built up his value high enough to get some valuable pieces for the future. There will be many contenders interested in Grant over the next two weeks but the Chicago Bulls could come out on top because of their assets.
