I don't watch Detroit so know not much about Grant and a google search of 'Is Jerami Grant a good player' provided a classic 'Yes but...' answer. At this stage I think hold on to the pick and trade Holmes. I think Metu and MBIII are reasonable fits next to Sabonis on offence as they tend to score more from catch and shoot, offensive rebounding, and finishing from others creation. Having said that, although improved, MBIII still not that impactful on defence and seems he is likely to be moved.
Lets put it this way. Grant is not a franchise talent. No way. Last year, Detroit played the game of taking someone with some ability and boosting them through role and opportunity to later flip. They did it right at first. Then they let the fools gold of Grant last year trick them into keeping him on. Now, he's kind of falling back to reality. Here's where this lines up into the Kings plans. Grant first got notice, at least real notice with the Nuggets. The Nuggets did the right long term move and went with MPJ over him. Problem was they actually did miss Grant when he was gone. Bigger problem those back issues with MPJ that scared teams away on draft night ended up F'ing the Nuggz. Which is just plain the universe ****ing on them but not totally out of the blue. Coincidentally or not, the Kings just put together a team somewhat similar to that same Denver Nuggets team. Hmmmm.... Grant might be the perfect get for a team not going for 1st rounders any time soon aka the Kings. Bagley/filler/2022 unprotected 1st and maybe even a 2024 protected 1st is one of those lets put it all out there moves. Fox/Barnes/Grant/Sabonis with a little Davion off the bench. Sac hasn't had a core like that since they made the playoffs and is as close to modern Bball as they've come yet.
