NBA Free Agency 2023: 3 landing spots for Jerami Grant you never thought of
By Jakob Ashlin
Wild-card landing spots for Jerami Grant: 1. Detroit Pistons
Grant chose to sign with the Pistons in 2020. Why not again?
The Pistons appear to be buyers. They elected to hold onto veteran Bojan Bogdanovic at the trade deadline. They also had “significant” trade discussions with the Atlanta Hawks regarding DeAndre Hunter, according to Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports.
The Pistons could reach $32.778 million in cap space by declining Alec Burks’s team option and renouncing cap holds for Hamidou Diallo, Cory Joseph, and Rodney McGruder.
In the past, Grant expressed his love for the city. In 2022, he told MLive’s Lauren Williams that he will continue to serve the city, regardless of where he plays:
"“It doesn’t really matter to me regardless if I’m here or not. I think with my foundation and with everybody, I kind of built roots here. So if I do end up somewhere else, I’m still going to be giving back as much as I can and whenever I can get back for a minute or something like that, I’ll do that… my roots are tied here regardless of which way my career goes.”"
A reunion would make sense for both sides.
