Brian Grant wasn't huge but he wasn't over the hill either. He chose to sign with the Blazers in his 4th season.
I believe that restriction is only in place for 2 months (from the date the trade is finalized). So... beginning of September? I can wait.
I don't see how you get to Durant's salary keeping those guys..at all...and you'll lose all your first round picks for a decade...all for a rental? I'm no cap expert but people who do invest in that research seem to think it's going to cost us depth to have the guy ...don't get me wrong...I think Durant is a great player...not sure if he's worth gutting the team for....in my view the Nets are only trading Durant for Dame.....and Durant doesn't want to come to a team without Dame in Portland ..we'll see.
And you just gave a great comment against what I said. I respect that. Yeah, Brian was fun and amazing to have. Can you think of any others? I have been trying to.... I can't think of anyone else, over the years.
