Lakers Eye Trade for Jerami Grant Amid Rebuilding Blazers

The Los Angeles Lakers consider a significant move as Portland looks to offload Grant before the season starts.

Jerami Grant has been a consistent scorer for the Trail Blazers, averaging over 20 points per game in recent seasons.
The Lakers are exploring trade options involving D'Angelo Russell and future draft picks to acquire Grant.
Portland's focus on rebuilding with younger players makes Grant expendable, increasing the likelihood of a trade.
A potential three-team trade could involve the Orlando Magic, adding complexity to the negotiations.
Grant's $160 million contract and fit with the Lakers' roster are key considerations in the trade discussions.
