I don´think the Cavs or Pistons would be interested unfortunately.

Cavs I think it´s more about the fit with Mobley + Allen. In a vacuum they´d probably do Grant for Markkanen + #14.

Mavs would likely do Powell/Brown + #26 too. Add a legit bruiser on the cheap via free agency as you suggested.

Pistons I think do not consider two middle to late picks enough value for Grant, I guess. Though it´s hard to tell what the perception about him is around the league? Just a good numbers on a bad team guy? That they lost out in the lottery and will be forced to reach on the projected weakest big at #5 certainly doesn´t help.

I think Cleveland and Dallas would definitely do that deal. But I agree with you Detroit is the question mark. They’re currently rebuilding and I personally don’t view Grant is anything more than a glorified Harrison Barnes. He’s also a free agent at the end of next year and who knows what his priorities are going to be. But since they got him for nothing but cap space I think it would make sense to sell as high as they can on draft night. So it really just comes down to could they get a better offer than 14+26?
