The Detroit Pistons agreed to trade forward Jeremy Grant for the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for a first-round pick in 2025 (via the Milwaukee Bucks and No. 1s 1-4) and multiple B-exchange exchanges. More specifically, the Pistons and the Blazers exchanged options for the second round in this year’s draft. The Pistons are now No. 36 overall, while the Blazers are No. 46 overall. In addition, the Pistons will receive a second round of 2025 from the Blazers and a second round of 2026 (the most favorable between the Blazers and the New Orleans Pelicans). Detroit will also receive a $ 21 million trade exemption as part of the deal. Select the checkbox to confirm that you want to sign up.

Grant is entering the final year of his contract and it was not a long-term piece for the Pistons to remake, who will now move on with Cade Cunningham and a $ 43 million cap on free agents. The Moving Grant has always made sense, but it is surprising that the Pistons could not achieve more returns. Maybe they could have a desperate candidate if they swapped Grant for last season’s deadline. However, it is worth noting that Grant is eligible for an extension this off-season and will seek a deal worth up to $ 112 million over four years. In addition, he wants to be a prominent offensive player. There were probably a few teams that were willing to pay Grant and give him the role he wanted, which could result in low commercial value. The Blazers were obviously one of them and now they have added a versatile striker to the mix as they try to bring back the tools around Damian Lillard.
