Amid all of the uncertainty surrounding the future of the Portland Trail Blazersā€˜ roster, the return of forward Jerami Grant may set in stone, as Action Network's Matt Moore reports that ā€œleague sources suggest that Portland is already locked in on a new deal worth more than $120 millionā€ with the nine-year veteran.

Grant averaged 20.5 points per game on 47.5 percent shooting from the field and 40.1 percent shooting from 3-point range with the Blazers in 2022-23, proving himself to be the type of secondary scorer a superstar like Damian Lillard can rely on throughout a season. Averaging 20.7 points per game over the past three seasons (two of which came with the Detroit Pistons), there's even more reason to believe that Grant can continue to have a large impact offensively.

Furthermore, as one of the more fluid athletes at 6-foot-8 and 210 pounds, Grant is a capable defender that can take on a multitude of matchups.

As a result, a $120 million deal for the 29-year-old would be well worth it. Especially with seven-time All-Star Damian Lillard under contract through the 2026-27 season.

Currently $64.8 million under the new Super-Tax Apron, the Blazers signing Grant to such a contract would certainly push the franchise closer to a plane of significant financial restrictions.

This would be the case even if the Blazers manage to trade Anfernee Simons and Jusuf Nurkic, who make a combined $41 million next season. Primarily because if Portland were to trade Simons and Nurkic, it would likely be in an effort to acquire a star player that could command more than $40 million annually.
