The Wood deal may have set the table for this. Grant was on an expiring contract and didn't fit Detroit's timeline, similar scenario. Grant may have been worth some extra second round value because of his better reputation but he's still an expiring that figures to be in line for a payday next season so he was only going to be worth so much.
What are the Blazers doing though? What was that Powell Covington trade around the deadline if they were still planning to be competitive. It sounds like #7 is up for grabs, I guess they're going all in to try to build something around Dame. Maybe they considered trading Dame but couldn't find a deal they liked?
