Detroit Pistons receive: Doug McDermott, Keldon Johnson
Brooklyn Nets receive: Jerami Grant
San Antonio Spurs receive: Ben Simmons

In this trade scenario, the Brooklyn Nets receive a viable third option in exchange for Ben Simmons. This trade may lower their ceiling, but they undeniably heighten their floor.

Speaking of floors: Jerami Grant will get on one and play basketball whenever he can. At the risk of being insensitive, the same cannot be said about Simmons. With this deal, the Nets get a strong two-way player they can rely on.

He also spaces the floor for Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. If Simmons is the hardest piece to fit into a puzzle, Grant is a square. He should fit in anywhere. We’re not sure that metaphor works, but the point stands: Grant is a complementary star.

That may be all these Nets need. Meanwhile, the rebuilding Pistons would love to add the 21-year-old Johnson to the fold. He may be similar to current Piston Saddiq Bey. That’s fine. You can never have too many floor-spacing wings that provide plus defense at one time.

Finally, the San Antonio Spurs gamble on their legendary professionalism and coaching staff to be the catalyst for Simmons’ turnaround. If it pays off, they’ll be acquiring something extremely valuable: the best player involved in this trade.
