On January 11, Beijing time, NBA reporter Charania reported that there are currently four teams in the league that intend to piston forward Jerami Grant, these four teams are: Wizards, Blazers, Knicks, lakers. Grant has been absent for a month because of thumb ligament surgery (injured on December 11), he is close to a comeback, and teams with playoff possibilities are hoping to trade the offensive and defensive forward, and the Lakers have long been fascinated by him.
US media lakershow publicly asked Lakers fans on social media: "How should we trade to get Grant." The current Lakers are tough, Anthony Davis has no timetable for his comeback, Vogel is obsessed with small lineups (let LBJ play the fifth position), the consumption of LeBron is huge, and he needs a defensively strong forward to decompress him.
Averaging 20.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks per game, Grant is a great candidate, he has always been a player in the fourth position, and he is known for his defensive player, and he was his main defender James in the 2020 Western Conference Finals. The Pistons have decided to rebuild and are heavily developing the Sadiq Bay forward, where Grant has no way out.
There are many teams competing with the Lakers, how can the Lakers trade Grant to enhance the team's offensive and defensive strength? Taren Horton Tucker must be a trading chip, and it is likely that the first round pick will have to be added.
The US media trade NBA proposed two deal plans, the first of which is Tucker + Nunn + Jordan Jr. + 2025 first round signing grant.
The second is Ellington + Bazemore + Tucker + 2025 first-round pick for Grant. However, Tucker is a player who has renewed his contract with bird rights in the offseason, and he is currently unable to trade, which is a difficult point.
Lakers fans suggest a three-way deal that allows the Lakers to reinforce the three-way trade between the Lakers, magic and pistons.
The Lakers sent Tucker, Nunn, and Bazemore to get Grant;
Magic sent Bamba to get Tucker;
The Pistons sent Grant to Bazemore, Nunn, and Bamba; (the three-way deal the Lakers didn't even make a first-round pick.
