On January 25, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued. Recently, rumors about the Lakers' intention to piston owner Grant have continued, but today NBA reporter Eric Pincus revealed on the show: "Actually, I have heard that the Lakers gave up Jeramie Grant. He didn't want to play the third role on the team after James and AD. The Lakers also have to invest heavily in his contract extension. So far this season, Grant has played in 24 games for the Pistons, averaging 20.1 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game.
Today's Lakers are plagued by the lineup, the return time of thick eyebrows is undecided, the team can only rely on James and Anthony on the front line, two veterans, the defensive intensity and athleticism of the front line can match the strong team, so Pelinka turned her attention to Grant. After Grant joined the Pistons, he showed his excellent offensive ability to hold the ball, and he is also a player with offensive and defensive skills, which is very suitable for today's Lakers.
Previous news also revealed the Lakers' offer for trading Grant: the 2027 first-round pick, Kendrick Nann and Tarren Horton Tucker. This deal seems to be very cost-effective in the eyes of Lakers fans, but Grant as a party is not willing to become a victim, and now the Lakers have stars such as James, Davis and Westbrook, Grant's reputation is naturally not as good as the previous few, so he is not willing to become the team's three bosses.
Grant did not choose to renew his contract with his old club Nuggets, is eager to become the star of a team, so he chose to sign the Pistons, helpless pistons are now in a state of reconstruction, and Grant does not seem to be in the Pistons' future plans, Grant is a blue-collar player, want to become the absolute core of the team may be difficult.
Recently, the news revealed that the return of thick eyebrows is imminent, and the Lakers may want to observe the performance of the team after the return of thick eyebrows, if the team is still standing still, Pelinka will complete the transaction. As for Grant's deal, the Pistons don't lack buyers in the free agency market, and the Nets Knicks are potential next to Grant.
