    If we can get Hauser sure I’d kick the tires on Kispert. Not sure if he can play D but he’s a career 38% 3pt shooter.

    not seeing the attraction. Looks like he's about equal to Grant as a three point shooter....maybe slightly better; maybe not. He's certainly not elite

    but here's the thing....everybody complains about Grant's lack of rebounding:

    TRB Rate: career: Grant 7.7%....Kispert 5.9%
    Assist Rate: Grant 9.0%....Kispert 8.1%

    more: Wizards were a bad defensive team (27th) and Kispert was 23rd out of 24 players on the team in defensive rating; and 22nd out of 24 in DBPM

    decent shooter, reasonable contract, only 26 y/o with room to get better

    not a bad acquisition

    No way I'd sign this guy...I don't know much about him but by the photo it looks like he's got a 5' wingspan. (correction) he's 6'6 with a 6'7 wingspan..

    Grant + Kispert is 4 times more expensive

    I think the 20 mil difference a year in the contract makes Kispert the better choice.

    Kispert is a 2/3, Grant is a taller, more athletic 3/4. Kispert is more than twice a cheap and fills the need of a backup 3 that shoots well and plays well off others (something Grant struggled mightily with this season). I don't understand the point of comparison.
