Detroit Pistons Receive: G Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, G/F Corey Kispert, WAS 2022 1st Round Pick (Unprotected)
Washington Wizards Receive: F Jerami Grant, BKN 2022 2nd Round Pick
Just based on the first glance of this offseason trade proposal, we should point out that this would be a trade that takes place during or right before the 2022 NBA Draft.
Washington cannot trade their first-round pick outright, they can only trade the rights to the player they draft this year because they traded their 2023 first-round pick back in 2020 to the Rockets for Russell Westbrook, resulting in the Stepien Rule to come into effect.
For the Pistons to trade Jerami Grant, they will need to be receiving a handful of future value, which they can definitely get from the Wizards.
Maybe Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is not someone they would want to add to their rebuild, but he is going into the final year of his contract, Caldwell-Pope spent four seasons with the Pistons early on in his career and the Pistons could possibly flip him in another trade for more draft picks or future assets.

Corey Kispert would be a unique player for the Pistons to consider in this trade as well, as the rookie wing is looked at as a strong three-point shooter that can grow into a well-versed offensive threat.
Along with a first-round pick, the Pistons would definitely be getting some immediate future value to put around their young core of Cade Cunningham, Saddiq Bey and Isaiah Stewart.
As for Washington, Jerami Grant would be a really good fit on the Wizards because of his two-way play and versatility to play either forward position.
Having Kristaps Porzingis and Kyle Kuzma, the Wizards would put Jerami Grant on the wing next to Bradley Beal, all of a sudden forming a decent looking core in the Eastern Conference to contend for a playoff spot with.
