    He also got less than MPJr. This is probably about market correct given the state of the NBA (meaning there are some better values there but there are worse contracts out there for the same position / role).

    Same basically as Nurk and Ant, about market correct

    They've spoken to him post draft. Do you think they'd sign Grant to this kind of money if they didn't know if Dame was coming back?

    We are being widely mocked for this deal.

    Whoever is mocking this deal has not seen the MPjr, Gordon Hayward deals, would have been nice to pay less, but this is the range for vetran SF/PF starters on team that do not want to tank.

    Wish it was cheaper, but if the team wants to keep Dame, market correct is about as good as one can hope for.

    I stand corrected. They pinch pennies in the wrong areas so they can overspend in the wrong areas.

    Good lord.

    My speculation... if he prioritizes winning a championship over playing in Portland where that isnt happening anytime soon, much better to go nearer the trade deadline. At that point he can better choose a destination with a team that is healthy, clicking and just needing him to push them over the top.

    Right after Windhorst said that the Sixers weren't extending Maxey because he's being traded for Dame (according to Sixers Twitter)?

    4 team trades are difficult to make everyone happy. Maybe they can shorten it.
