Jerami Grant Trade Watch: Lakers Bucks Cavaliers

Merlin sees Portland wing Jerami Grant drawing steady trade interest as the Feb 5 deadline nears. Jake Fischer reports "external curiosity persists about Portland's willingness to part with" Grant. After a bounce back year he is averaging 20.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.7 assists while hitting 38.9 percent from three. The Lakers, Bucks and Cavaliers are all mentioned as likely landing spots. Merlin notes Portland is 12 17 and still in rebuild mode, so moving a veteran for future assets fits the club story. Grant is a two way minded wing who helps on both ends of the floor and would boost a title chase or shore up injured contenders. If he keeps producing and stays healthy, the heat around him will grow as teams sharpen offers.
