IT’S DONE: LA Lakers finally sign Jerami Grant for an exclusive deal of $120 million contract from Utah Jazz…
The Los Angeles Lakers will reshape their roster this summer to aim for a return to contention next season after a disappointing first-round exit in the 2024 Playoffs.
Many reports suggest the Lakers are eyeing a major trade, with players such as Donovan Mitchell and Trae Young linked to the franchise. If the superstars aren’t available, could the Lakers look at a more reasonable option such as Jerami Grant?
The Portland Trail Blazers extended Jerami Grant to a five-year, $160 million contract last summer, as he spent the season tanking on the Blazers. The 30-year-old is a prime 3-and-D wing with offensive versatility for any contender, but his contract has supposedly caused his trade value to dip.
The Lakers have a lot of hurdles to overcome for a superstar trade for Mitchell or Young, but Grant could be a more reasonable target. Given his contract and the player assets the Lakers have, they could offer a package that doesn’t leave a dent in their future.
