The Nets Pistons' 4-for-1 trade has given the initial plan Clarkston plus two first-round picks to replace Grant.
According to the latest news from NBA well-known reporter Michael Scott, the Nets have put Bruce Brown and Javin Carter on the trade list, and at the same time received a number of team calls about Joe Harris and Clarkston, and the Nets are willing to trade these four players for an All-Star player at the same time. Sean Marks discussed a deal with the Pistons about Jeramie Grant and strongly wanted Grant to form the Big Four lineup.
Michael Scott confirmed that the Nets traded Brown and Carter to reduce the luxury tax, and the two players have fallen out of head coach Steve Nash's rotation. Nets general manager Sean Max basically came up with the same plan when answering the trade calls between Harris and Clarkston, with four players packed up at the same time, replaced by an All-Star player, or a good starter.
"The Cavaliers have a keen interest in Harris, with multiple teams eager for Clarkston and the Pistons looking to get young center Clarkston from the Nets." Michael Scott said, "The Nets are open to trade With Clarkston and have discussed with the Pistons the plan for Claxton and Harris for Jeramie Grant. ”
However, the Pistons' trade with Grant is relatively expensive, and unless the Nets can provide first-round draft picks, it will be difficult for the two sides to reach a deal. "If the Nets can use Harris to get a first-round pick back from the Cavaliers and provide their team with a first-round pick for 2028, they can get Grant from the Pistons." Michael Scott said. If the Nets can get Grant, the Nets will basically lock up the championship trophy this season.
Grant can switch between small forwards and big forwards, averaging 33.2 minutes of playing time per game and 20.1 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists. Upgrading Harris to Grant, the Nets' offense is unbeatable in the NBA, and more importantly, Grant's defense is excellent, allowing the Nets to have a defensive gate that locks up the opponent's arrow character.
The Cavaliers are looking for a shooter, with a focus on Eric Gordon, who is targeting Harris and the Rockets. "The Cavaliers have always wanted to trade Harris, and it's not yet known if they're willing to give Harris a first-round pick." Michael Scott said, "Cavaliers general managers Kobe Altman and Sean Max discussed the Harris deal two or three times, and the trade talks have not progressed since Rubio was injured. Once the Cavaliers are willing to trade the first-round pick for Harris, the Nets will also be eligible for Grant. ”
"Daily News" reporter Christian Winfield also confirmed in the report that Nets head coach Steve Nash and management discussed hoping to get another full-fledged scorer before the trade deadline. "Obviously, Grant is pretty much in line with the Nets' requirements." "But the Nets need two first-round picks and Clarkston as a bargaining chip to get the deal done," Winfield said. ”
The Nets' most recent tradeable first-round draft pick is the 2028 first-round draft pick, and the Nets' 2028 first-round draft pick is of considerable value based on the nets' career estimates of Harden, Durant and Kyrie Irving.
