Blazers will have their MLE. Grainger will be 31 and has declined really fast due to injuries, a lot of them
Granger would not be a bad pick for MLE, but that's only if CJ can take over the Mo Williams role. CJ needs to put on about 10 lbs. this summer and keep his speed.
If we are looking at Small Forward reserves I'd take a look at Marvin Williams. Has declined a bit since not living up to hype, but the age is right and he should be an MLE price tag. Seattle kid.
Probably will get less than MLE, and that leaves room for another veteran looking to make a run for a title. Or, would Mo Williams, Marvin Williams, CJ McCollum, Freeland, Leonard, and Robinson suffice? I think it would be a nice bench, with Williams able to score, along with Mo. It's either keep Mo or replace Mo, at this point. How about Steve Blake at the vet minimum, and split the MLE between two decent vets who can score a bit?
