    As much as I hate to think it, I bet Jerami starts out as a starter in hopes of boosting his value.
    OTOH would it be better if he was successful as the focus of the second unit?

    Didn't seem to work the last 2 years - maybe 3rd time is a charm?

    Cronin held the bag on this one. One of his biggest mistakes.

    Trading Grant out for a healthy Vanderbilt is a win.

    I gotta say it but the Sidery Tweet is a big -- No Shit Sherlock it would have been real news if he said something stupid like NBA exec's thought Grant's contract was a positive asset.

    BTW -- Thanks again Cronin for NOT trading him last offseason that was a major cluster fuck on his part. -- period

    His production may have fallen off, but I doubt that it was due to his age. You can't just look at his stats; you've got to be smart enough to take into consideration the circumstances of the team.

    Having said that, he may just not be a good fit next to Deni (and Scoot). The style of play did change last season, and he (much like Ant) needs to adapt to the way Chauncey wants them all to play now. But that does not necessarily mean his skills are diminishing. I think most GMs are aware of that. The problem is his contract.

    Eventually he'll get traded, around the all star break

    His stats were good when we were just feeding him the ball and he was ISOing. Same thing when he was in Detroit. He didn't play nearly as well when he was asked to fit into an offense.

    He'll never be healthy so it is an extreme hypothetical.

    Sounds like he took the summer off and took it easy after signing the deal. The results weren't great. I'm thinking he'll be better this season.

    He will have to be. He sees his value is negative. Can't feel too good to know there is no market for himself. Then again, with $100 plus million still to be paid to him, it can't hurt to bad.

    Let's reiterate though that Evan Sidery doesn't know shit. He hasn't proven to have any actual sources.

    I'm serious. We're stuck with him. He's still a good player, just overpaid.

    Being stuck with him is one thing, but I don't want him starting. That will seriously annoy me. The starting lineup should be Scoot/Shae/Tou/Deni/Clingan.

    At some point, do you do the unthinkable and attach 1st rounder. Prefer not to but might need to get out from this contract

    is my prediction. Until Scoot and Shae improve it has to be this way. Grant is more efficient I would guess. POR has to get the CHI FRP to convey to free up all of MIL's picks. They have to make the post season. no more lotto. Other option is to give someone away to CHI (or take junk back) to get them to send it back to POR. That seems unlikely. So POR has to play to win.
