We’re two weeks away from the NBA Trade Deadline, which means we may be two weeks away from the end of Jerami Grant’s tenure with the Detroit Pistons.
Or maybe we’re not?
Marc Stein of the New York Times is reporting that “Arn Tellem [is] said to be open to an immediate trade.” That’s interestingly worded.
Tellem is a powerbroker with the Pistons. He’s connected, he’s respected, and he knows how the trade market works from his days as an NBA agent. But he’s not in charge. Tellem is the Pistons Vice Chairman, basically an advisor to owner Tom Gores who has his hands in all aspects of the franchise — on and off the court.
