    I know most everyone wants to get rid of Grant but something about him and Walker on the court together is working.

    I'm in zero rush to get rid of Grant. If we can get better value in return, that's fine. If not, let's keep him until we have a better option!

    I think it’s more that Grant got up for this game knowing he’d be playing against an AS forward like Siakam. Going through the motions against anybody (like Grant’s been doing) is boring. This is a player-pride kind of game.

    Cronin doesn't have to trade Grant to shave cap space. Next year's luxury saving payroll only needs minor adjustments.

    And he's under contract. I wouldn't settle for 2 late 1sts.

    Grant doing a little bit of everything in the first half (and a lot of scoring)!

    This Indiana team is like the Blazers from 2-3 seasons ago. Amazing offensive team that plays absolutely zero defense.

    Thybulle has already doubled his season average for 2pt makes in a game, with 1.

    Scoot only playing 8 minutes in the first half. I’m all in for the rebuild and imo this is unacceptable. I like us to play well but the wins don’t mean anything for me. If this isn’t showcasing some of our veterans for a trade I just don’t understand what Billups is doing.
