Why would the Blazers care about high level assistant coaches? They want to save cash with low cost assistants and get a high draft pick.
I agree. If the 76ers wanted, they could actually absorb both Jerami AND Brogdon into their cap space.
What about the Pacers? Seems like the one gap in their lineup is at forward. I had to look up that their starting SF is Aaron Nesmith, about whom I know literally nothing. Anyone know anything about him? Anyone interested in getting him back as part of a package for Grant? (Maybe get Jarace Walker in there?) (If I'm honest, I looked up the Pacers because they have three second round picks this year, and there are so many intriguing players, including draft-and-stash guys that I'd honestly be super happy with five second-round picks this year.) Then the Pacers could roll out: Halliburton Mathurin Jerami Siakam Turner That's a contender right there!
OK, so Detroit is not a playoff team, but as part of their overhaul they might want Jerami back, AND: We could use an enforcer...
Why? What does he potentially bring them that Barnes and Murray don't? I see their roster needs at SG and an athletic defensive Big STOMP
I really wanted Walker in the last draft and valued him at least as much as anyone else available at #3. Being so young (he turns 20 next September), I didn't expect him to play much last year and he didn't but he did flash some game. One year later you'd think the Pacers would have a pretty good idea of who they'd be giving up on. I doubt they'd part with him unless red flags were raised and/or the package coming back truly upgraded their current roster. STOMP
Grant = Huerter + Murray + 13 Huerter rehabbing left shoulder surgery. Murray on a better timeline. 13 is for SAC getting the best player. SAC is win-now and Grant provides that better. Murray is a solid to good starter. Grant can be traded for a higher pick, but this one is doable and Murray was a high pick just 2 years ago. So there’s that. 13 + 14 to move up for a Top 10 pick.
