Making the Case: Los Angeles Lakers
The Los Angeles Lakers are the ultimate win-now team in the NBA. Any group that has LeBron James will likely look to win a championship right away. They’ve already achieved this back in 2020 down in the NBA Bubble but have taken significant steps back since.
It all hit rock bottom this season once the Lakers were unable to qualify for the postseason. The team did not look balanced on the floor and remained inconsistent. Anthony Davis was unable to control his health, which also hit Los Angeles hard.
It is clear that the Lakers need to add depth. Grant would solidify the small forward position, giving the Lakers a versatile piece. He is one of the true 3-and-D players in the NBA that can play multiple positions.
On the defensive end, he has the ability to guard all five positions because of his size and length. For a Lakers team that has Anthony Davis, pairing him with Grant offers a lot of versatility.

This is the type of player that could help Los Angeles right away. It is not to say that Grant is the missing piece for a championship, but he is a veteran who would fit any scheme around the league.
