As the NBA Free Agency is set to begin at 6PM today, trade talks involving Jerami Grant have emerged as a focal point between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Portland Trail Blazers, according to sources close to the negotiations. There could also be a third team involved.

The Lakers, looking to bolster their roster around LeBron James and Anthony Davis, see Grant as a versatile forward who can provide scoring and defensive prowess.

Trade Proposal:

Los Angeles Lakers get:
- Jerami Grant

Portland Trail Blazers get:
- D'Angelo Russell

Conclusion:

While trade talks are ongoing and nothing is finalized, this potential deal involving Jerami Grant would significantly impact the beginning of free agency. The Lakers aim to enhance their championship aspirations, while the Blazers seek to get off the Grant contract (five-year, $160 million), acquire assets and tradable contracts that can be re-routed elsewhere or at the 2025 NBA trade deadline.
