Jerami Grant

The Trail Blazers have acquired scoring forward Jerami Grant from the Pistons for a future first-round pick.

In my latest Mock Draft, I had the Blazers selecting Baylor freshman Kendall Brown – a defensive-minded athletic freak – with the No. 36 pick. There are a handful of talented players who could fall out of the first round and Detroit has a chance to add another quality young piece with that selection. In my latest Mock Draft, I have the Blazers landing G League Ignite guard Dyson Daniels with that selection. As ESPN's Bobby Marks alluded, they also clear cap space and have approximately $43 million to work with following the trade. Grant gives the Blazers a veteran player who fits Lillard's win-now timeline. He has one more year remaining on that deal – set to make $20.96 million next season – before becoming an unrestricted free agent in 2023.

The deal also includes Detroit acquiring Portland's No. 36 pick in Thursday's NBA draft for the Blazers at No. 46, as well as a 2025 second-round pick that Detroit had owed Portland, sources said. The Pistons also get a 2026 second-round pick from the Blazers, which will be the most favorable between Portland's and the New Orleans Pelicans'.

The Portland Trail Blazers receive Jerami Grant in exchange for a 2025 first-round pick and future draft capital, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski says.

Grant immediately slots in as their best defensive player. While they could have gotten a greater return for a player of Grant's caliber, this moves sets the Pistons up to make a splash in the offseason. It also provides them a versatile defensive player who can cover multiple positions. The Suns can match any offer for Ayton, but the Pistons will look to force their hand and overpay for the No. 1 pick in the 2018 NBA Draft. Grant signed a three-year, $60 million contract with the Pistons in 2020 in search of a larger role on offense and while the Pistons didn't win a ton of games, he proved to be a capable two-way option as the focal point of their offense. Along with a $21 million trade exception, the Pistons have freed up $43 million in cap space as they look to add more talent around 2021 No. 1 pick and Cade Cunningham, Saddiq Bey and Marvin Bagley III.

And the trade serves as a homecoming of sorts. In his first six seasons, he averaged 9.3 points while playing for Philadelphia, Oklahoma City and Denver. The Pistons now have somewhere around $44 million in space available this summer, with free agency set to start in about a week. It also gives Portland a big boost after a disappointing season, one where perennial All-Star Damian Lillard missed much of the year while injured. • 2022 second-round pick swap (No. 36) • 2022 second-round pick swap (No. 46)
