What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Lakers are pursuing Jerami Grant, according to Shams. He also mentioned the Lakers having some interest in Ben Simmons. It really seems as though the Lakers are at least doing their due diligence on the trade market, but obviously quite a bit can chance between now and Feb. 10. pic.twitter.com/sZW3gYXat99:57 AM

This is where the Pistons Miss Jerami Grant. When the game gets tight, you need someone who can get you a bucket. Turnovers are nonstop right now. Nets up 13. – 8:14 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Halftime: Nets 60, Pistons 57. Really good half for Detroit without Jerami Grant. Trailed by 13, used a run to take the lead and it was back-and-forth through most of the 2nd.
Cunningham: 16 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds
F. Jackson: 14 points
Lee: 7 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists – 7:13 PM

Jerami Grant is out tonight (obviously), but Isaiah Livers is questionable. Jamorko Pickett isn’t listed as being on G League assignment, meaning he could be with the main roster tonight – 12:07 PM

More on this storyline

 

Dozens of teams call the Detroit front office about Grant each week, and sources said the team is open to a possible deal. -via The Athletic / December 13, 2021
In the meantime, the latest entry into the rumor mill was a report this week from the Inquirer regarding “ongoing discussions” with the Detroit Pistons, where the Sixers were said to be interested in former Philly draftee Jerami Grant. Grant, in the second year of a three-year, $60 million contract, is averaging 18.1 points per game on 40.1/30.8/80.8 shooting splits, with his numbers down across the board following a productive first year in Detroit. According to sources, those discussions were not just old and presently inactive, they were of little interest to the Sixers. The team’s list of players they’d be interested in acquiring for Simmons, recently referred to by Sam Amick in a report for The Athletic, does not include Grant, a source familiar with the situation tells PhillyVoice. -via Philly Voice / November 21, 2021
In the Detroit example, sources say there’s not much of a discussion to be had unless the Pistons unexpectedly decided to throw Cade Cunningham, this year’s No. 1 overall pick, into the mix. Even then, the timeline Cunningham is on relative to Joel Embiid would make that a tough proposition for Philly to say yes to. -via Philly Voice / November 20, 2021
