We shouldn't be looking into what teams have assets they can trade for Grant, we should be looking into what teams have dead cap money they can transfer to Detroit in a Grant trade.
Weaver prioritizes acquiring dead cap when he makes trades.

Less than optimal.
No, we would WANT the New Orleans pick.
It's a lotto protected 1st that Portland owes Chicago starting in 2022 (super unlikely to convey this year obviously)... and will become a SRP if not conveyed as a 1st by 2028... so pretty much in 2028 if the Blazers are in the lottery, the Bulls get their SRP but if the Blazers are not in the lottery then the Bulls get the pick.
Portland can still deal their own 1sts, just with more elaborate conditions... I could see them sending it out as protected 1-4 and 15-30.

That can be stretched.

Not all hope is lost
Hopefully it's Hart + Expirings (Satoransky) + Pelicans 1st (5-14th pick in 2022) for Grant
Hart is signed to a great deal and is 26, a pick even in the teens would be nice for our team
Or it could just be a cap absorbing move - Little + Pelicans pick for Grant which is even better for us clears up 18M and gets us 1st

Lillard is still weeks away and who knows could get banged up again. Getting that 1st rounder alone with light protections this way alone would be a win.
Edit- Oh yeah pels pick would be nice as well. Yeah we need to land a 1st rounder this deadline.

Maybe we could get Holmes+top 4 protected pick + salary filler scrub
Kings have a good chance of making the play in, so they might be more willing to give up a late lotto pick now

Blazers opened up a 20 mill trade exception , so yea they can pretty much just take Grant without matching salaries.
I would do NAW + the pelicans pick. If I’m being honest I would do the Pelicans pick and anything else. I don’t think we will get a better offer and I have no interest in signing Grant to 100mill extension
