As the trade deadline approaches, the league's teams have also begun to be active in the trading market, and some star players have naturally become the object of competition between teams.
Among them, the Pistons, which are in the process of rebuilding, are selling star player Grant, and according to the famous Shams, the Knicks, Lakers, Blazers and Wizards all want to get Grant.
Based on such transaction rumors, the US media "hoopshabit" also gave 4 trading plans, of which 4 for 2 to join forces with Rose, the Lakers 4 for 1 is expected to win-win.
Trading Scenario 1
Knicks: Get Grant + Joseph;
Pistons: Get Kemba Walker + Mitchell Robinson + Knox + Topping.
Given the Pistons' desire for young players and their reluctance to take over big contracts that take up space, it's hard for the Knicks to achieve both goals at the same time, and the deal barely meets the requirements.
Kemba Walker's contract is not long, and at the same time it has a certain value for money, and next season, the Pistons can sell Walker in exchange for more rebuilding chips.
In addition, the Pistons have also won three young players, but only One of them has a multi-year contract, and the other two players will expire, which may affect the Pistons' interest in the deal.
Transaction Scenario 2
Lakers: Get Grant;
Pistons: Get Horton Tucker + Nunn + Jordan Jr. + 2027 first-round picks.
Compared with the Knicks' trade plan, the Lakers' side is obviously much friendlier and fully meets the requirements of the Pistons.
Jordan Jr.'s contract to balance salaries was not large, both Horton Tucker and Nunn met the Pistons rebuild requirements, and the team also received a hard currency first-round pick.
For the Lakers, the current situation of the team is not good, can only continue to adhere to the "win in the moment" model, this deal although sent away the team's few high-quality chips, but also as desired to get Grant, his ability is fully in line with the Lakers' championship needs, through this deal the two teams are expected to get a win-win ending.
Transaction Scenario 3
Trail Blazers: Get Grant;
Pistons: Get Nurkic + Little + Zeller + 2024 first-round pick (protected).
For the Pistons, the deal can only be seen as an option, as neither Zeller nor Nurkic is satisfied with the team's rebuild, and the contract is about to expire, and the overall deal is not worth much.
Little did deserve to be developed by the team, and the first-round pick was in line with the rebuilding plan, but the first-round pick was protected and Little's talent was not outstanding enough, so the deal could only be seen as one of Grant's low-priced trade options.
For the Blazers, in the case of Lillard undergoing surgery and the high probability of reimbursement for the season, the team has begun to accept a "soft rebuild" and is not in a hurry to get Grant, but the deal clears out two players whose contracts are about to expire, and if the Pistons accept the plan, the Blazers can also gamble on Grant early for next season.
Transaction Scenario Four
Wizards: Get Grant;
Pistons: Get Harrell + Yamura + Neto + 2025 first-round picks.
The deal also meets the Pistons' requirements, with Yamura and the first-round pick being the main payoffs, and Hachimura is clearly a more promising new star than the Lakers' Tucker.
At the same time, Harrell, who used to balance salaries in the trade, is also very good to handle, according to his performance this season, as long as the follow-up Pistons change hands, it will inevitably bring back positive returns to the team.
Therefore, the attractiveness of this deal for the Pistons is clearly at the top of the four schemes.
