Jerami Grant Replacements the Portland Trail Blazers Could Target After Acquiring Ja Morant

The Portland Trail Blazers’ acquisition of Ja Morant reshapes the team’s immediate roster needs, with the club now focused on replacing Jerami Grant, who averaged just over 18 points per game last season. Morant is expected to jumpstart Portland’s offense after the franchise posted 115.5 points per game in 2023-24, ranking 17th in the NBA. The front office is also balancing fit alongside frontcourt pieces Deni Avdija and Toumani Camara. The article outlines two potential veteran targets: Tobias Harris, noted for a 36.8% three-point rate and scoring that can stress defenses via driving and lobs, and Rui Hachimura, described as a younger, win-now option with stronger growth from beyond the arc. It notes Portland’s 7-seed finish from the play-in as context for its next move.
