The Sacramento Kings trade for Jerami Grant of the Portland Trail Blazers is likely to go through in the coming days. The Sacramento Kings made it to the playoffs last season after a long wait of 16 years. But the spark that they ignited last season has been carried forward to the current season as well.
They are currently ranked 7th in the Western Conference with a 24-18 record and are set to enter the playoffs once again. The Portland Trail Blazers, on the other hand, have other plans; they are set to sell some of their players. Should the Sacramento Kings add the Trail Blazers’ Jerami Grant to their roster?
The 29-year-old American basketball forward Jerami has played 36 games this season while averaging 21.8 points per game. He has also managed to chart 2.4 assists and 3.6 rebounds per game while shooting 40.9 percent from beyond the arc. He is a great player, and his performance has nothing to do with his departure.

Why would the Portland Trail Blazers trade-off Jerami Grant?
The PT Blazers wanted to pair Jerami with Damian Lillard, but the latter chose to move to the Milwaukee Bucks. Now, the Trail Blazers want to rebuild, and the huge contract of Jerami might become an obstruction in the long run.

Why would the Sacramento Kings like to sign Jerami Grant?
Although the Sacramento Kings made it to the playoffs last season and might achieve the feat again, they are not considered contenders. Adding a star forward who is a great two-way wing would surely make them better.
