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.
 
He’s from Edmonds which is like 20 min from me. PNW kid.
 
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

grant is 3x more expensive
 
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..

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.
 
OKC had a Caruso, Wiggins, Joe & Wallace that all shot the three well in the playoffs, off the bench. Think Wiggins is the tallest of the three at 6'5.
Kispert is the type of bench player we need, imo.
 
The implied question was should we sign him? The comparison to Grant and the note that he is 1/3 the price of Grant are irrelevant.

This is not a Grant for Kispert swap, this is about adding someone who has a decent 3 point shooting percentage but as was pointed out, is a worse rebounder and passer (or assist generator) than Grant and also known for poor defense.

I think most were happy to move Ant who was essentially a one-dimensional player. Now we would consider replacing him with another one-dimensional player on contract through 28-29?

Hard pass.
 
Ideally, Rupert and his 7'3" wingspan can get some minutes at SF if he can improve his 3pt shot. He shot better two years ago with more minutes. (36%)

2 way players are not easy to come by. The good ones are expensive. I hope Rupert is ready this year. If so, we do not need Kispert.
Also, hopefully, Thybulle's 3pt shooting last year was not an anomaly. I don't expect him to repeat 44%, but 38% would be helpful.
He and Rupert would be nice coming off our bench....if they can hit their open 3. I think they can.
 
Currently, we don't have anyone off the bench that shoots the three well consistently. I think MThy was our best three point shooter off the bench. Again, our offense was not good last year so I hope we get at least one gun slinger off the bench, its needed.

Yeah, Rupert needs to improve the 3 as he shoots 32%. If you can get a guy like Kispert for cheap at least he does one thing damn well. OKC was bailed out many times this year buy their bench 3 point shooting.

Mattisse shoots the 3 well off the bench and with Jrue either Deni or Shaedon may be coming off the bench as a 6 man...Shaedon and Scoot and Khris need to improve as 3 pt shooters. Duop is a decent shooter.

you don't understand the "comparison"? It was a simple gauge between a player we have seen very little and a player we are very familiar with. A gauge of skills and basketball value. Of strengths and weaknesses. That was pretty obvious

it doesn't matter how "cheap" Kispert is compared to Grant because Washington won't be trading Kispert for Grant; at this point, Portland appears to be 'stuck' with Grant for a season or two more. The Kispert/Grant comparison in terms of contracts is irrelevant because that wouldn't be the exchange. There's no either/or here. It might be either Thybulle or Timelord. Or maybe Kispert absorbed into Portland's MLE

as far as size: Kispert was measured as 6' 6"; Grant was 6' 6.5". Kispert was weighed as 224; Grant was weighed as 214. Essentially they are the same size

Yeah, Mattise really did well off the bench, Rupert, Khris were not good with the three at all.
 
I dunno if the Blazers should be interested but I certainly don't find him interesting. He would need to be a serious knockdown shooter to overcome his other deficiencies, and he's good but not elite. If we're going to get somebody with defensive inadequacies just to improve the shooting of our squad, let's revisit the Sasha Vezenkov suggestion. He rebounds, too!

If there’s a signing of a free agent difference maker into the NTPMLE this off-season — okay. I have not heard or read of a player like that on this board or elsewhere.

If there is a trade into the NTPMLE during the season of either a difference maker or a prospect Schmitz loves or — more likely — a season ending contract where a taxpayer doesn’t want to pay a serious, multiplied tax AND will give up 1st round draft capital (a lower 1st or a distant 1st), then that’s okay, too.

I obviously could end up being wrong, but the Ayton pay-off was both a good move in itself to clean the roster at a reduced cost AND as a move during the season to increase assets. I could be wrong on this actually being intended for a move during free agency.

That is only relevant if the Blazers think they can move Grant. If they can, then sure, he would be a relatively cheap replacement. But if they can't, then Kispert adds another 13 million per year for 3 years. (behind Deni, Camara, and Grant)
