Plausible destinations for our vets?

Thank goodness not all GM's just look at stats. Grant's game is well known after so many years in the league. Guy's don't make Olympic teams with their stats. It seems the only stat that matters in trades is salary.
Grant still has a few years left of being an above avg player and I'm sure other teams know he's probably lost interest playing in such a dysfunctional organization.

 

I doubt very much that they're interested in trading Keegan. He's only scoring less because of DeRozan - he's basically become their Toumani. Yes, his 3-point % has dipped, but I imagine that's seen as an aberration or part of the growing pains of integrating DeRozan.

And besides - if Keegan's stalled out in his development, you think CHAUNCEY is the coach he should go to?

 

Exactly. Most GMs understand how a change of scenery can invigorate a player. Especially a vet who has shown he is good but is currently on a team that is not fully invested in winning. No one will be evaluating his PER. Having said that no one will be giving us 2 first-round picks for him either.

 

Saw this article of High-Risk, High-Reward trades for each team. Looked for any that involved the Blazers. Article: https://fadeawayworld.net/nba-trade...pboard&utm_content=topic/portlandtrailblazers

Lakers:
Lakers receive Jerami Grant and Portland gets D’Angelo Russell, Jarred Vanderbilt, Jalen Hood-Schifino, 2029 First-Round Pick (via Lakers), 2025 Second-Round Pick (via Clippers)

Pelicans:
Pelicans receive Jerami Grant, Shaedon Sharpe, 2027 First-Round Pick and Portland gets Zion Williamson

Magic:
Magic receive Anfernee Simons and Portand gets Jonathan Isaac, 2025 First-Round Pick (via Nuggets), 2025 First-Round Pick, 2025 Second-Round Pick

Blazers:
Blazers receive Keegan Murray, Kevin Huerter and Sacramento gets Jerami Grant

 

I'd love three out of four but do not think we would get that much for Grant or Simons. Would not trade Sharpe and a pick for Zion..

 

Magic & Kings deals are absolute yes

 

Fadeawayworld is a bot fucking joke

 

I think we just have to do it the old fashioned way and wait for Shams to break trade news. It is all garbage out there unless you have a mole within an organization.

ps

M's not making any moves yet themselves. Bichette??? Can he get his act together with a change of scenery?

 

Exactly my feeling. Love the last 2, laughed at the first two.

 

Lakers found a much better deal for a forward who is shooting threes a lot better than Grant. Grant will not be going to Lakers and I doubt if he will be going anywhere at all. three second round picks to Nets and Lakers clear a lot of cap space also.

If Cronin actually had a chance to get a FRP from Lakers for Grant at one point, it's now confirmed he made a huge mistake.

 

Grant = Simons = Ayton = no value. Joe is not the guy. Be prepared for the same starting 5 next season.

 

I wonder if LA is in the market for a PG now that Russel is gone.

 

Joe is holding on to our guys too long. Why did he give Grant and Thybulle those ridiculous contracts?

 

Before the season, Joe spoke of Scoot/Shae/DC being our core. No mention of Simons. And Simons wasn’t one of the glasses. Joe is just waiting for the right deal.

 

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that some teams will want our vets for pieces that make a lot more sense for our team (some combo of picks, prospects and vets that don't need to play or can be flipped).

 

There's just no way that the Lakers preferred DFS over Jerami. I bet you that either Joe was given one last chance or he has pissed off some GMs around the league with his overvaluing of our vets.

This shit has me nervous that both Jerami and Ant will be here all season and that (for me) will be absolutely unacceptable. Please make a fool out of me for being nervous Joe!
