Troy Weaver has a Plan A-yton; But what is his Plan B?

The universal reaction to the Detroit Pistons finally trading Jerami Grant seems to be “That’s it? That’s all you got?” Understandable considering Grant was Troy Weaver’s first major signing and was reportedly being shopped for multiple first-round picks. The floor of his value seemed to be the late teens.

Instead, he was traded for a single 2025 first-round pick that will likely land in the late 20s (courtesy of the Milwaukee Bucks) and a couple of minor second-round transactions. Again, “That’s it? That’s all you got?”

Only, it seems Troy Weaver was much less interested in future draft capital than he was in immediate financial flexibility.
