Portland Trail Blazers Receive: F Jerami Grant, C Richaun Holmes

Detroit Pistons Receive: G Eric Bledsoe, No. 4 Pick, No. 7 Pick

Sacramento Kings Receive: F Josh Hart, No. 5 Pick, No. 36 Pick

If you want an out-of-the-box trade idea sending Jerami Grant to the Portland Trail Blazers, hopefully, this one is up to par. Damian Lillard would have two new starters next to him in the lineup in an effort to get a lot of their work done before free agency.

Essentially, “Rip City” would also be bringing in Richaun Holmes as their new starting center, but would be sending out Eric Bledsoe’s contract along with Josh Hart and the No. 7 pick in the 2022 NBA Draft

Perhaps adding this level of talent before free agency could be used by the Trail Blazers to entice a talent like Zach LaVine to sign with them? It certainly wouldn’t hurt. Especially when considering Portland could renounce Jusuf Nurkic’s cap hold sooner.

The Sacramento Kings would basically get compensated to move down one spot from No. 4 in the 2022 NBA Draft to No. 5 by receiving Josh Hart and the No. 36 pick from the Trail Blazers. They’d also be able to turn Richaun Holmes’ contract into a wing player to pair with Domantas Sabonis and De’Aaron Fox.
