The 2022 Trade Idea Thread, now with more urgency!

I don't want to flip the potential lottery pick for Grant, but if it happens I won't be mad. Gonna change my avatar to Evan Mobley next.

 

Going to play Devil's advocate on Grant for a min and my point is simple

He is playing in Detroit with a team that sucks and was out of it a month into the season for the most part so it's possible on a team playing for something he will be checked into it not checked out like he seems to be in Detroit

However he is the son of an ex Blazer so we had Trent's son so time for another ex blazers kid ( Harvey Grant ) and according to his wiki page Born in Portland so perfect fit -- LOL

 

what will really piss me off is if Cronin trades both the pick and the TPE for Grant

I'm sure, if his interest is real, he's trying to trade Bledsoe for Grant

 

Grab the pitchforks guys!

 

Yes at the very least, if we are trading that pick for Grant, make it Bledsoe going out and not the TPE.

Knowing Cronin though, he's offering the TPE and throwing in a lightly used Greg Brown while he's at it, for good faith.

 

Max I would give up is Bledsoe/NAW/Johnson/2025 second rounder (back to DET). Just break it up into multiple deals if needed.

 

Bledsoe/2 2nds for Grant
NAW for CoJo

 

can't combine Bledsoe with other players and Detroit doesn't have any TPE that I see

 

Break it up into multiple deals. Bledsoe for Grant works by itself, and we have enough small contracts to match with their small contracts.

 

I don't understand. We got rid of a ball stopper for a bigger, more efficient scoring guard that could be great next to Dame. Now we're possibly going after a forward who could be a good #2 next to Dame. Is that not a good plan? Nobody wants to give up a young player that could be an All Star. Is that what some people wanted?

 

this is quite easy to workaround.

Bledsoe for Grant.
NAW for a salary filler.

Curious if Johsnon can be traded, though.

 

sure...but still have to trade players for players. Bledsoe only creates a 1.8M TPE for Detroit

 

but wait, hollinger didn't hate our trade, so it's acceptable.

 

NAW for CoJo. They have many contracts around the 4-5M mark and so do we.

 

Grant's offensive stats look very much like CJ's, but he's taller, I guess?

 

who is better Winslow or NAW? NAW's contract isn't guranteed next season

 

Hey People, When Jerami Grant was playing in Denver, he shot 39% on 3-pointers, had an effective shooting % of 56 percent. and a true shooting percentage of 59 % . He won't be option #1 in Portland.

 

I think it's pretty clear NAW has some value. Pretty sure NO would have rather traded Hayes and a poor first and instead Cronin opted for NAW and a second.

 

But he wants to be a #1/2 option and wants to be paid like one.
