Despite not trading for Jerami Grant at the NBA Trade Deadline, the Portland Trail Blazers are still interested in the Detroit Pistons star.
According to The Athletic, the Blazers are expected to make a serious run at Grant this offseason with a package highlighted by the New Orleans Pelicans lottery pick acquired in the C.J. McCollum trade last month.
The pick is expected to fall in the 5-14 range, which would allow the pick to be conveyed to the Blazers. However, if the Pelicans make the playoffs or find a way to sneak into the Top 4, it would significantly hurt the Blazers in the Grant sweepstakes.
