Lakers could set Jerami Grant trade market for Pistons

The Lakers could set the trade market for Jerami Grant and the Pistons

The Jerami Grant trade market is going to be set by the first legitimate offer that is leaked by one of the teams.

With as many as 10 teams interested in Jerami Grant, the Pistons should hope a team like the Lakers makes this type of offer so they can turn it down and make it the baseline for a Jerami Grant trade.

Teams in the Western Conference like the Utah Jazz or Golden State Warriors might increase their offers if they think the Lakers have a chance to land Grant, as he could be enough to move the needle, especially if they are only giving up one starter in return.

The Pistons are in the driver’s seat here because they don’t have to trade Grant, who still has another year on his deal after this one and will likely have similar value in the offseason or at next year’s deadline.

But that doesn’t mean they won’t listen to offers, so they should be gathering as many as they can, pitting teams against each other in a bidding war for the trade deadline’s best asset.
