The Lakers have kept surprisingly quiet this offseason. Sure, they plucked new coach JJ Redick out of the broadcast booth, perhaps snagged the draft's biggest steal in Dalton Knecht and made a history-making pick late in the second round, but the "greater or bigger swing" Lakers fans were promised after an uneventful trade deadline never happened.

There's still time to get a ceiling-raising deal done, though, and adding Grant should qualify.

His stats have been a bit inflated by suiting up for some cellar-dwellers in recent seasons, but there are only so many ways to nitpick his 2023-24 average of 21 points per game when it was enhanced by an efficient 45.1/40.2/81.7 shooting slash. His volume would decrease while lining up alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis, but Grant could become more efficient on offense and more active on defense.
