Grant, 29, spent the past season with Portland after being traded from the Detroit Pistons last offseason. He had a solid 2022-23 season, averaging 20.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game for the Trail Blazers.
Grant averaged 17 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists and one block per game since 2019 during his time with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Denver Nuggets, Pistons and Trail Blazers.
Portland reportedly offered Grant a four-year, $112 million max contract he was eligible for in January, according to Yahoo Sports' Jake Fischer, but the forward declined that in lieu of a bigger deal he could sign in free agency. But he also said he expected to remain with the Trail Blazers during his end-of-season news conference.
