Sometimes, a productive deal can be made between two rebuilding NBA teams looking to shake things up. Could a deal involving the San Antonio Spurs and Detroit Pistons be beneficial for both sides?
The Pistons have been building through the draft in recent years. Cade Cunningham was selected with the first pick in last year’s draft and is looking like a centerpiece player. Saddiq Bey played in and started all 82 games this season.
All of a sudden, there is a path moving forward in Detroit. This does not mean that the team is going to make the postseason next year, which is why they should look to move a veteran.
Jerami Grant is entering the final year of his deal with the Pistons. In two years in Detroit, Grant is scoring 20.1 points per game. This is a huge jump from the rest of his career. Grant took on a leadership role for the Pistons and proved that he can lead a group offensively.
