The Detroit Pistons have agreed to exchange striker Jeremy Grant with the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for a first-round pick in 2025 (through the Milwaukee Bucks and Defenders № 1-4) and multiple election exchanges, according to Adrian Wojnarowski.
Most importantly, the Pistons and Blazers swapped second-round picks in this year’s draft. The Pistons are now 36th overall, while the Blazers are 46th overall. In addition, the Pistons will receive a second round selection in 2025 from the Blazers and a second round selection in 2026 (the most favorable between the Blazers and the New Orleans Pelicans). Detroit will also receive a $ 21 million trade exemption as part of the deal.

Grant is entering the final year of his contract and was not a long-term part of the recovering Pistons, who will now move forward with Cade Cunningham and $ 43 million in free agency space. Moving Grant has always made sense, but it’s surprising that the Pistons failed to finish any more. Maybe they could have a desperate contender if they swap Grant by the deadline last season.
However, it is worth noting that Grant is eligible for an extension this off-season and will seek a deal worth up to $ 112 million over four years. He also wants to be an offensive player. There were probably few teams willing to pay Grant and give him the role he wanted, which could lead to low trade value. The Blazers were obviously one of them and have now added a universal striker to the mix as they try to rethink Damian Lillard.
