Jayson Tatum and Jerami Grant spent this summer as teammates for Team USA. If the Celtics reportedly had their way they would continue to wear the same uniform.

According to The Athletic, the Celtics offered multiple first-round picks for the 27-year-old Grant, who primarily played a power forward for the Pistons during the 2020-2021 season.

Grant is coming off a stellar season in his first go-round with the Pistons, averaging a career-high 22.3 points and 33.9 minutes per game. He also took 6.1 three-pointers per contest (making 35 percent of them), by far the most during his seven-year NBA career.

Grant is under contract for the next two seasons, scheduled to make just more than $20 million in each campaign.
