Detroit Pistons Receive: G/F Dillon Brooks, G John Konchar, F/C Killian Tille, 2022 First-Round Pick (No. 22 – UTA)
Memphis Grizzlies Receive: F Jerami Grant
A potential roadblock in a Jerami Grant deal relates to rumors about his preferred role.
It’s circulated that Grant enjoys being a featured weapon on the Detroit Pistons more than he’d enjoy playing a supporting role elsewhere. That’s a preference Grant, like any player, is entitled to have.
Unfortunately, it makes life a little difficult for him and those around him. There are not many teams in the NBA that will afford him that same offensive responsibility. Grant is a very good player, but he’s not a top opinion on an average team.
For that matter, he’s not a top option on a rebuilding team. The Pistons will likely look to run the show through Cade Cunningham next season.

They’ll also pick fifth in the upcoming draft, and will need to afford that player some responsibility as well. If this deal goes through, Grant will have to accept his natural place as a tertiary option on a winning squad.
If he can, it could make the Grizzlies a serious contender for the 2022-23 NBA championship.
