The Blazers are also giving the Pistons the No. 46 pick in exchange for No. 36.
Grant has long been rumored as a target for the Blazers, and the front office gets it done a little more than 24 hours before Thursday’s NBA Draft.
Grant spent the past two seasons with the Pistons after signing a 3-year, $60 million contract. Now, he will play out the final year of his contract with the Blazers before hitting free agency next summer — unless the Blazers sign him to an extension.
Throughout his career, Grant has averaged 11.4 points on 35 percent three-point shooting, 3.9 boards, 1.3 assists and 1.1 blocks per game.
