Official Jerami Grant trade rumors/ideas thread

Does this count assisted baskets?

 

Grant can shoot so if he stays he stays. At least he doesnt have a toxic reputation.

 

sure...it's average points divided by average touches

 

This could be sacrilegious but Id do - Grant for Rozier, Love & Larsson. Rozie, Love are on last year of contacts. If you want to move JG going to have to take back some salary, but 1 year's not so bad.

 

While interesting stats (thanks) its kind of hard to quantify Rasta complaint. These stats include guys bringing up the ball and initiating offense. While Grant only really touches the ball when the team is further in the shot clock and near a shot attempt.

I hadn't really noticed Grant as "sticky". Even if he was I think it might depend what his accepted role on the team is. The last 3 years he has basically been slotted as the #2/#3 offensive option. If he's off the bench and clearly not so high in the pecking order would he change his contributions? Really not sure.

Grant has had a number of times he's played very effective two way basketball. Yes at times for the Blazers but also prior in Denver and on Team USA. So I do think theres a chance he could find such a role here. Will be hard work both from Cronin, Billups, and Grant to get him at that level.

 

Question, if Grant was making half of what he's making, how would you see him as part of this team?

 

If he was fine as a backup role/occasional starter I'd be happy to keep him there.

The issue with Grant is 100% his contract.

 

I think he’s gonna be unhappy coming off the bench….. or I’m going to be unhappy if he’s starting.

 

I'd see him as fine coming off the bench behind better players, taking up a reasonable share of the cap and vastly more tradable

He seemed pretty unhappy at the end. Didn't like his role either I believe. So can't see him being too happy with a bench role.

 

Is it our opinion of better players or his opinion?

I'm sure he'd be fine backing up Giannis - but he probably sees himself as better than Camara/Deni/Sharpe/etc.

 

That’s my biggest concern right now. Not his contract. I’m worried about his attitude and about any obligation that Chauncey might feel towards him.

 

I assume every player wants to play and sees themselves as deserving minutes, but it's the coach's and management's opinions that matter as to who gets them. Why in the world would you think our opinion matters?

Malik Beasley along with his shooting (and his gambling) for Jerami?

 

Sorry - I don't think ours matters - that was my question - who's opinion of better would Grant consider when you said he'd be happy to backup a better player?

If it's the coaches opinion it's probably fine.

If it's Grants opinion of who's better we might have issues with him as a backup.

Seems like last year Grant had a lot of issues accepting other as better or better at creating offense.

 

Grant from 2 years ago... yeah.

Grant from last year... no. He'd still be overpaid.

 

I did not say that. I said he'd be fine as a backup to better players, meaning Deni and Camara. How is that me saying he'd be happy about it?

I don’t think Grant gets traded the longer this goes on. His contract is too long for contenders to take on in trades. Joe probably values him as a vet next to Jrue and a 3 and D PF

 

His fashion game is a lot like SGA!

If only his actual game was too.
