OKC Thunder send Ersan Ilyasova to Philly for Jerami Grant

Oklahoma City on Tuesday acquired small forward Jerami Grant and a trade exception, trading forward Ersan Ilyasova and a protected future draft pick.

Oklahoma City will convey its first round pick, in the first allowable draft beginning in 2020, unless that pick falls within the top 20 picks of that year’s draft. If the pick is within the top 20, the Thunder will instead send the 76ers its own second round draft picks in 2022 and 2023.

The 22-year-old Grant (6-8, 210) has appeared in 144 games (63 starts) over three seasons with Philadelphia, averaging  8.2 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.38 blocks in 24.2 minutes per game. This season, Grant is averaging 8.0 points, 3.5 rebounds 2.00 blocks and 20.5 minutes per contest.

Over eight full NBA seasons, Ilyasova has appeared in 530 games (making 313 starts) and has averaged 11 points, six rebounds and one assist in 24 minutes per game, while shooting 37% from three-point range.

Ilyasova has appeared in three games this season for the Thunder, posting averages of five points, five rebounds and one steal in 21 minutes per game.
