Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant, 28, has become an offseason prospect for the Atlanta Hawks. Although the Pistons hope to trade Grant in exchange for a more favorable return, the Pistons have not announced that they will trade with the Hawks.


Forward Grant was selected by the Philadelphia 76ers with the ninth overall pick in the 2014 league draft. He played for the 76ers for 2 seasons and averaged a maximum of 9.7 points per game. He then joined the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2016, where he gained more playing opportunities, averaging 13.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1 assist per game.


Until he was traded to the Nuggets in 2019, he was fired after a short season, and the Pistons signed him. He averaged a career-high 22.3 points in 54 games for the Pistons last season, and in 47 games this season, Grant is averaging 19.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 2.4 points per 31.9 minutes. Assists, 0.9 steals and 1 block. The overall hit rate is 42.6%.


The Eagles are still interested in a deal for Grant from the Pistons, but the Pistons have not confirmed the news of sending Grant to the Eagles. It is expected that the Pistons are waiting for a larger contract offer and benefit from it. Grant will receive a four-year, $112 million extension if the Pistons re-sign him in the offseason.


It's unclear if the Hawks can convince the Pistons to drop the offer they demanded from trading Grant -- the 16th overall pick of the year -- but the Pistons' Grant has no shortage of teams looking to get a deal, including the No. The Portland Trail Blazers, with the seventh overall pick, also plan to trade with the Pistons for Grant's two-way contract.
