3 Best Trade Destinations for Jerami Grant ahead of 2022 Trade Deadline

The Detroit Pistons’ forward, Jerami Grant could be the “holy-grail” of the NBA Trade Deadline, now that he has been made available by the team.

With the trade deadline coming close, the name Jerami Grant is bound to be heard more than often. Due to his sheer versatility, Grant could be one of the biggest prospects for teams without a marquee player.

While averaging career high 22.3 points and 2.8 assists along with 4.6 rebounds, Grant barely finished behind Knicks’ Julius Randle in the Most Improved Player Voting. With his way above average defense, the ability to guard at multiple spots accompanied by his aggressive playing style, Grant is an overall package.  

Though as the deadline seems to come close without Grant having a team to go to, and his ‘little interest‘ in joining a team where he won’t be the primary offensive option, there might not be many reasonable options available for him, and hence, no one expects him to be on the team, past the deadline.

Though, let’s have a look at the most realistic trade destinations for him.

Top 3 Trade Destinations for Jerami Grant:

3. Portland Trail Blazers

CJ McCollum and Damian Lillard

With the ongoing tussle between the team management and Damian Lillard and their entire injury ridden season (even when the players were healthy), Blazer’s haven’t been able to perform to the best of their abilities.  Having Grant in their team could take the Blazers in the right direction. Though this might further be sophisticated by the “3 Team Trade” which is required, Jusuf Nurkic and Robert Covington have reportedly been made available, while CJ McCollum has always shown interest in the Trade Market, which makes the affair easier for the Blazers.

2.  Washington Wizards

One of the many teams interested in bagging Grant before the deadline are the Eastern Conference’s Washington Wizards. The reasons might be very evident. Even with the abundance of NBA players on their roster, the team doesn’t possess enough star power to compete with the elites of the Eastern Conference.
With the previously mentioned aggressive nature, Grant would be a perfect addition to their defensive line-up alongside Kyle Kuzma, while also adding a scoring ability to the team.

Adding Grant to the team might help the Wizards in finding their long-lost depth in the team core.

1. Boston Celtics

Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown

While Jerami Grant might not be the perfect solution to the immediate needs of the Celtics’ team, but would definitely be a great support to their existing players, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, making their lives easier.

Grant almost has all that the team needs, he can guard the teams’ forward while also scoring points when required in order to assist Tatum and Brown in their current scenarios where they are running behind non-shooting/inconsistent youngsters.

While the state of affairs might be difficult for Grant to be transferred in, he definitely is a valuable prospect for many of the teams without marquee players and could definitely be the “Grand Prize” of this transfer deadline.
