It seems like Tellum wants to trade Grant and would do an "immediate" trade that's on the table now, where Weaver prefers to keep Grant unless a deal comes through that is too good to pass up. This certainly isn't the first time we've heard about a split in management for Detroit, as it was also previously rumored there wasn't a consensus on keeping the #1 pick. Hard to say home many people get voices but its interesting to see that its leaked that we aren't on the same page with this. You'd hope Weaver would have final say, perhaps with needing only the approval of Gores but I'm not 100% certain that Weaver has full control over every decision being made here. One thing that is certain is, we keep hearing that its known that whoever trades for him or if we keep him that Grant is going to want his max extension this summer, worth about $112 million over 4 seasons.
The front office of the Detroit Pistons may be split on whether to trade Jerami Grant at the deadline.
Marc Stein writes that "Arn Tellem [is] said to be open to an immediate trade" of Grant. This presumably means that Troy Weaver would prefer to retain Grant, who has outplayed expectations since signing with the Pistons in 2020.
Grant has one season remaining on his contract and is seeking a four-year extension worth more than $100 million this offseason. Grant also wants to maintain a big role within his team's offense, which was a major reason why he left the Denver Nuggets.
The Sacramento Kings have been linked to Grant, but it is unclear if they can assemble a satisfactory trade package. The Atlanta Hawks are said to not be in active pursuit of Grant.
