    Orlando is tailing off lately, apparently due to lack of offense. What about Grant and Brogdon for Carter, Jett Howard, Jonathan Isaac and Suggs? And we get a FRP?

    Can't see them having much interest in Grant with Wagner and Paolo taking up the spots he'd be playing.

    A rotation of the three of them would be very strong.

    But none of them are centers, and none of them are shooting guards.

    Does Grant make OKC a legit contender? They have a plethora of picks and the Bertans contract to move.

    They could just trade for Lauri. No team expects them to win more than a series this year, and it’s not even bad if they were a first round exit this year.

    Utah has said they have no plans on trading Lauri and want to build around him. Could be posturing but I don’t see why they would want to trade Lauri.

    Fair, but I think there’s going to be better players that they can go all in on. They already played the long game, they’ll probably stick it out until they get the guy they want. Grant, don’t think that’s him.

    Gonna post this in the Brogdon AND the Grant threads

    upload_2024-1-31_10-25-18.png

    You can plug Grant and Brogdon right into the starting lineup with Embiid, Harris and Maxey and that's a pretty damn solid 5, with good shooting and good defense. But what do I know.

    1 draft pick and a 6'8" center doesn't blow your skirt up?!

    You want to serve the Sixers the championship on a silver platter for likely the next three or four years and give us Paul Reed, one future first and expiring contracts in return???

    No, I don't think we need Reed back or any players whose minutes wouldn't be filled by Malcolm and Jerami. So just expirings and every first rounder they can trade which right now is just the three in the trade below. I don't care which expiring contracts are included but I imagine these are the players/contracts the Sixers would want in the deal. I would imagine every guy we would receive would eventually be bought out so they could contribute to a playoff team.

    He is VERY low on Grant, basically doesn’t value him at all. Just a couple months ago he pitched Grant for Rubio, Okoro, and “SummerLeague MVP” (don’t even remember who he is honestly). No picks back.

    It was something along those lines.

    Yeah Jerami is just putting up a ton of points very efficiently and is a great defender 2-4... but yeah I'm sure no one would have value for that. He's even shown that he's probably more suited for SF and in so doing has shown he's a forward who could start at either spot for a team in need of more offensive fire power from their forwards without giving up any defense. Jerami isn't a great rebounder but that's all he's not good at. He definitely has value around the league... I know he has more value than @Rastapopoulos gives him... I'm just hoping Joe is somewhere between Rasta and unrealistically overvaluing Jerami. I also hope that Joe doesn't see Jerami as being invaluable to our current situation because I just don't see how he could be.

    I don't think there needs to be rumors about Joe shopping Jerami and Malcolm, there are enough rumors about teams that would want them. Joe just has to be willing to pull the trigger on the best deal before the deadline.

    I came up with reasonably justifiable trades that got us multiple draft picks, and space we can use as an asset going forward. You can feel free to find the flaw in the specific trades if you see it there.
