With the trade deadline approaching, there has been a lot of news in the league that the Pistons may put Jeramie Grant on the shelves. After signing the Pistons to a three-year, $60 million contract last season, Grant has become one of the league's best two-way forward players.
According to the US media Shams-Charania, such as the Wizards, Knicks, Development and Lakers are all interested in Grant, and it is estimated that not only these teams are interested in Grant. So under what circumstances should they push for a deal involving Grant for the Pistons? American media Brett Siegel gave the following trading proposals:
Scenario 1:
Lone Rangers get: Jeramie Grant, Corey Joseph
Pistons get: Tim Hardaway Jr., Josh Green, 2022 second-round picks, 2025 first-round picks (first 5 picks protected)
Scenario two:
Wizards get: Jeramie Grant, Josh Jackson
Pistons get: Davis Bertans, Thomas Bryant, Denis Avdia, 2025 first-round picks (first 5 picks protected)
Scenario three:
Knicks get: Jeramie Grant
The Pistons got: Obi-Topping, Norrense Noor, Quentin Grimes, 2022 second-round picks, 2024 second-round picks
In the above trading plan, the Pistons can exchange many future assets in the case of sending Grant, which can get tough players such as Hardaway Jr. and Green in the transaction with the Lone Ranger, plus two future draft picks, which is still a very good plan.
As for the trade with the Wizards, although the Pistons can get goalscorers like Bertans, Bryant and Avdia are not particularly good returns, but the biggest reward in this deal is the Wizards' future first-round draft picks, considering the Wizards' talent, which is believed to still have a good return.
Finally, there is a trade with the Knicks, in which the Pistons can get two young players, Toppin and Grimes, as well as two second-round picks, which should be a chip to satisfy the Pistons.
