There was a lot of heartburn when the Detroit Pistons traded Jerami Grant for a future first round pick, especially when rumors swirled that Grant might net the team a mid lottery pick in the 2022 NBA draft.
In fact, the Grant trade left most of us scratching our heads and grasping for something positive to say.
Turns out, we just needed to be patient and trust Troy Weaver.
So the Pistons essentially traded Jerami Grant for the 13th pick (Jalen Duren), a 10-pick swap upgrade in 2nd round tonight and Kemba Walker's (owed 9 mil in final year of his deal)

It’s sometimes hard to follow the net result of NBA trades, especially when Troy Weaver is involved, but essentially the Pistons traded Grant for Jalen Duren, plus moved up 10 spots in the second round.
