A third of the way through the NBA regular season, teams are already planning trades based on their current performances. The Los Angeles Lakers, who have had a poor record recently, are also actively making contact with a number of teams, and the most rumored is a trade with the Bulls, but the two sides have been unable to reach an agreement on Rivers, which has stalled the trade.
Recently, the American media NBA Analysis reported that the Lakers and the Trail Blazers discussed a trade plan for Grant, which is as follows:
The Lakers sent: Hachimura, Gabe Vincent, and a 2029 first-round pick.
The Trail Blazers sent: Jerami Grant.
Grant's arrival will bring more offensive firepower to the Lakers. In recent seasons, he has become an excellent ball-handling scorer in Huawei. Over the past few seasons, Grant has averaged around 20 points per game, and his shooting ability and breakaway ability are excellent. With James and Davis alongside, Grant will be able to share the team's offensive pressure and give the Lakers more scoring options. In addition, Grant also has excellent three-point shooting, which will allow the Lakers to diversify their offense.
Secondly, Grant's performance on the defensive end is also worth looking forward to. As a 6-foot-9 tall forward, Grant has excellent physicality and defensive awareness. He has been very consistent on the defensive end, and he has been able to provide strong support to the team both inside and outside. In a team like the Lakers that emphasizes defense, Grant's arrival will undoubtedly add another brick to the team's defensive strength.
