This Lakers-Pistons offseason trade involves Jerami Grant

Jerami Grant, Los Angeles Lakers, NBA Trade Rumors
NBA Analysis Network

One of the best signings of this past year was the Detroit Pistons signing Jerami Grant to a three-year, $60M deal. Grant made a name for himself last season in the NBA Bubble when the Denver Nuggets made it all the way to the Western Conference Finals, ultimately losing to the Los Angeles Lakers. 

Everybody knew Jerami Grant was a really reliable and solid player, but I am not sure anybody, even the Pistons, expected Grant to have the breakout season he did. In 54 games with Detroit this year, the 27-year-old forward averaged 22.3 points (career-high), 4.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists and shot 42.9% from the floor, 35.0% from three-point range.

For a team that has not had a lot of success over the years, Jerami Grant has given this Pistons’ fan base something to cheer for and be happy about moving forward, especially with all of the other young talents around him. With Grant and the rest of their young core, the Pistons definitely have something going for them, but could they look to move Jerami Grant while his value is at an all-time high?

There were discussions of a handful of teams being interested in trading for Jerami Grant at the trade deadline this year, but nothing ever came from these rumors. The Lakers were interested in signing him before he signed with the Pistons last offseason, so could they look to make a run at him via trade in the offseason? 

Let’s take a look at a hypothetical offseason trade proposal by Bleacher Report’s Greg Swartz that features Jerami Grant being traded to the Los Angeles Lakers to team up with LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
