Jerami Grant
At this point, readers could accuse us of scouring the trade machine for the most popular names. Fair enough, but on the other hand, most of those players would help the Spurs get back to the playoffs.
Jerami Grant is no exception. In today’s positionless league, he’d make an interesting fit on these Spurs. With Jakob Poeltl anchoring the defense and Dejounte Murray piloting the offense, the Spurs could fill their starting lineup between them with 3-and-D wings.
A lineup of Poeltl, Grant, Johnson, Vassell and Murray would have tremendous stopping power. They wouldn’t slouch on offense either. With rumors suggesting that Jerami Grant prefers a situation where he’s a featured offensive option, this scenario should suit him too. He’d likely be the second option in this attack behind Murray.
The Spurs wouldn’t have to part with as much to acquire him as they would to land Mitchell either. Joshua Primo may be due for Motor City in a hypothetical deal. Pairing him with draft capital and salary matchers might be enough to get a deal done.
