    The trick is to draft well...I think Jokic was picked at 41 and Toumani was around Jabari Walker in the bottom of the draft in the 50's. We have a great draft wiz in Mike Schmidt (sp?). Also expanded our foreign league scouting staff where the future Deni's and Duops are hiding.

    I agree. I was saying that he is the only player out of those 3 that were mentioned that I would be fine dumping for a 2nd round pick,
    because of his contract.

    The only reasons they'd be able to get rid of Grant is because the cap is going up and his contract is more reasonable than someone elses and that other team is stupid...Because he's on the downside of his career (his shot fell off a cliff this year) and honestly, he hasn't played a full season in 5 seasons, and is a roll player at this point in his career.

    Granted, roll players are being paid obscene amounts of money now-a-days, so...
