Official Jerami Grant trade rumors/ideas thread

I would do this immediately if the ATL pick had top 6 protection or less. Flip Bogdan for anything.

No way the Hawks do this, though. They love Okongwu and probably want to keep their lottery pick.

 

Respectfully I don’t think you guys have watched Keegan Murray much. He is not going to be a superstar but he is going to be a very good player.

 

So is he any good? If he is I would not worry about the draft pick. The problem I see is the matching contracts. I struggled to make it work on the ESPN trade machine. It is doable but multiple players would have to be involved, or a third team.

 

What exactly is making you feel this way? Because I said Kris could be close to Keegan-adjacent one day? I’ve already acknowledged what you’ve said, that he’s a very good player already that just won’t be a superstar. You mentioned great glue guy, we are NOT in the business of paying that much for glue guys when we don’t have a good enough roster set up.

Glue guys get drafted by teams to grow organically. OR, you trade for them down the line when you have a playoff ready team, like Memphis eventually trading for Marcus Smart. I’m not comparing Smart and Murray btw, that’s not my intent. I’m comparing when on the roadmap of Memphis’ window they acquired a glue guy, compared to where the Blazers are as a team right now.

 

According to Jake Fischer, Portland is not expected to seriously entertain offers for Jerami Grant. Why Joe!?

negotiating 101?

I don't agree with the decision, if true, but I have suspected all along that Cronin doesn't intend to trade Grant at this trade deadline. I think the only player he'll likely shop is Brogdon

 

I truly hope it’s negotiating tactics, but like you, I don’t think Cronin intends to trade Grant unless someone gets desperate and is willing to overpay.

There is just no need for Grant on this team right now.

 

Don't necessarily disagree...
But there's also no need to 'dump' Grant either.

 

I don't think anyone is saying to just dump Jerami. I think that the working theory is that he has more value to a win now team than he does for us and therefore we would get solid value back if we trade him.

That being said if we don't trade Jerami and/or Ant I'll be pissed because they both ball hog and tend to ruin what we should be trying to do with our offense. They also both take shots away from the guys that I think are the future of our team. At the same time if we dumped either one of them for less than solid value I'd also be pissed.

 

You've already seemingly set yourself up for unreasonable expectations on deals, so might as well just get pissed off now and let it ride instead of waiting for February 8th.

 

Davion Mitchell sure has lost his value. I see that he is listed as either 3rd or 4th string PG with the Kings now.
Is their goal to have Keegan at SF and someone like Grant at PF? Right now they have Keegan and Barnes.
Is Grant that much of an upgrade for them to move the others?

 

Bro…just let him think that lolol

 

lol at all the knicks fans saying no to this trade in the replies

 

I don't think there's anything I want from the Mavs besides Lively. Even their unprotected firsts are not expected to be very valuable.

 

They'd get valuable in a hurry if Doncic got injured. (Yes I know, Kyrie, but he's 100% going to get injured.)
