The Portland Trail Blazers could finally get off Jerami Grant's massive contract this Trade Season. The veteran forward is having a resurgent 2025-26 season, averaging 20.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.6 assists on 44/40/86 shooting splits.
Grant is still overpaid, but he's no longer the worst contract in the entire association. That gives Portland a much more realistic chance of improving its long-term outlook by offloading Grant prior to the Feb. 5 trade deadline.
Everything is aligning, as they even have a potential trade partner in the Milwaukee Bucks.
NBA insider Jake Fischer reported on The Stein Line (subscription required) that Milwaukee is looking to be a buyer at the deadline to upgrade its roster around superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo.
