Josh Hart – Portland Trail Blazers
The Portland Trail Blazers heavily pursued Jerami Grant ahead of the trade deadline this season and this interest in Grant is not expected to disappear anytime soon.
According to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, the Trail Blazers are expected to “seriously pursue” Jerami Grant in the offseason.
Taking a step back and going through some sort of a “rebuild year,” Portland has been making moves left and right to try and find the right talents to surround All-Star Damian Lillard with.
Anfernee Simons appears to be someone the Trail Blazers will be pairing Lillard with long-term, but the rest of this roster seems to be “expandable” to Portland in trade talks this upcoming offseason.

As a result, Josh Hart could very much be dangled as trade bait in a deal for Jerami Grant and he could absolutely be a player the Pistons would want to add to their roster.
In the midst of his fifth NBA season, Josh Hart has been productive everywhere he has been and the 27-year-old forward would be a great, lower cost replacement for Jerami Grant in Detroit.
Hart can score off-the-dribble, be a shooting threat from the perimeter, facilitate and be a primary ball-handler, as well as make a difference for his team defensively.

Josh Hart truly is a “jack of all trades” and is a player that the Pistons have shown interest in previously. Pairing him as an experienced talent on the wing with younger leaders in Cade Cunningham and Saddiq Bey all of a sudden makes the Pistons somewhat of a decent team that can compete on any given night.
If the Pistons are interested in trading Jerami Grant to the Portland Trail Blazers, they would be foolish not to ask for Josh Hart in return.
