New Orleans Pelicans Receive: F Jerami Grant
Detroit Pistons Receive: No. 8 Overall Pick, G Devonte’ Graham, F/C Jaxson Hayes

This hypothetical trade between the New Orleans Pelicans and Detroit Pistons was put together by Grant Hughes over at Bleacher Report. They put together a piece of surprising offseason deals for teams in the lottery of the 2022 NBA Draft.

This is a deal that would certainly raise some eyebrows. The Pelicans could look to consolidate their roster this offseason and in this scenario, they go all-in on building their version of a death lineup.

Jerami Grant is going to be one of the most popular players on the trade market this offseason. It could be hard for the Pistons to pass on offers as they did at the deadline, especially if they are adding another lottery pick in the process like in this deal.

Detroit is forging on with its rebuild in this scenario. The No. 8 overall pick gives them options in this year’s draft while Jaxson Hayes is still on a rookie deal of his own.
