5 Best trade destinations for Portland Trail Blazers' Jerami Grant
3. Sacramento Kings
Sacramento showed some interest in acquiring Siakam, but the Raptors forward reportedly wants no part of the Kings. Grant would be a solid plan B.
The Blazers' forward would come at a cheaper price. Sacramento is unwilling to include Keegan Murray in any deal; that might preclude them from landing someone like Siakam, but it wouldn't stop them from acquiring Grant.
In fact, plugging the 29-year-old into the starting lineup alongside Murray would give head coach Mike Brown another scorer and spot-up shooter capable of defending multiple positions. Grant would become 1 of 5 Kings currently scoring 15 or more points per game.
A quartet of De'Aaron Fox, Murray, Donantas Sabonis and Grant would be prolific on offense and a little more passable on defense than one that includes Harrison Barnes, Kevin Huerter or Malik Monk.
