Jerami

Grant

The conclusion of NBA Summer League in Las Vegas saw league personnel heading to Harry Reid International Airport in order to catch flights for their annual scheduled vacation. The dog days of summer and a slight dead period across the NBA ensue around this time every year. With many teams done pursuing talent in free agency, as well as the small number of roster spots that remain league-wide, the attention of offseason moves shifts to the trade market and the potential of big-name players becoming available. Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen was the hot name everyone was talking about at Summer League, yet the Portland Trail Blazers continue to be in a head-scratching situation with Jerami Grant and a roster that seems primed to make a trade.
