Trade Grant to Portland for Mil first done deal

[Natebishop3]

Does the fact that the CJ deal is now CJ for Hart and Grant make it a better return?

Yes.

Does the fact that the CJ deal is now CJ for Hart and Grant make it a better return?

Yes. Fills a better need in more spots than CJ inadequately did in his spot.

It does. I'd rather our brand new GM not have to salvage a disaster but he did it and deserves credit for it. I'll gladly eat crow.

 

[Idog1976]

Wow! Ok we can grab Sochan, Sharpe, Murray, Daniels or Duren at 7.

This is freaking huge. Best move by Cronin EASILY and actually gives me a surge of hope!!!!

Does the fact that the CJ deal is now CJ for Hart and Grant make it a better return?

Depends on the extension. If it's a max contract idk...I guess it's better that it's going to a forward versus two max's in our guard spots.

there were some people that held off on crucifying Cronin because of this very scenario. And yes, obviously it does.

 

[B-Roy]

Wait, we actually traded a 1st and 2 seconds + a pick swap.

We owned Detroit's 2025 second rounder. So we gave that back.

Basically the 1st we got in the McCollum deal + the 2nd we got in the Powell deal + the 2nd swap we got in the McCollum deal for Grant

Ehhh. I liked it better if we kept the Detroit 2nd, but it's fine I guess.

 

[DDolla]

We keep the 7th pick…. HELL YEAH !!!

And if things don't work out with Grant, do we get to do the reverse uno card and call him a moron for the CJ trade?

 

[James lamphear]

Nice move by Joe we still got our 3 picks this year.

for all we know Detroit could be good by 2025 with prime Cade + other pieces. Their second might be in the 45-60 range. Not too worried (yet).

Yes, yes it does. I would have done that trade without a second thought. I don’t care HOW he got it done, but he got it done. Now draft Murray, Sharpe, Daniels, Duren or Sochan in that order if available. Although Im tempted to bump Sochan a bit. I wish we could somehow get two of those guys like Sochan and Duren if we trades for Charlotte’s picks and then got lucky as they fell to us. A guy can dream!!!

 

[Strenuus]

In my opinion and probably recency bias, in terms of what we gave up to get (and also understanding my not wanting grant) this may be the best trade he's done so far.

Shrewd, even. This was what Olshey thought he was doing when he did his shitty shrewd moves. This is actually shrewd in terms of a players potential asking price and negotiating down to a win for us. I don't think that Mil 2025 is gonna be good at all unless giannis gets injured in 2024 and you can't control that.

 

[RonBrewer]

Extend Cronin!!!!!!!!!!!!

Phenomenal that we did it with a 2025.

What is the story on his contract? Is this a one year rental or do we have a shot at some time with him?

 

[Labinot41]

so now we traded CJ for Hart, Grant and Ingles?

 

[Natebishop3]

I don't understand the Denver part..... how do they fit into this?

 

[Cugel]

alright alrght alright

 

[RR7]

So CJ and Nance for Hart, Grant, Didi and Ingles. Fire Cronin!

 

[B-Roy]

So now it looks like:

McCollum, Powell, Covington and Nance

For

Grant, Hart, Winslow, Johnson

It's ummm, okay I guess.

 

[julius]

Hm, so either the 7 is going to Portland, or maybe to Toronto for OG?

But do they need OG and Grant?

 

[OneSport3]

Can not wait for all the Cronin-haters to go into hiding.

 

[MickZagger]

I love Grant at this value. We need more moves if we want to compete though

 

[Natebishop3]

so now we traded CJ for Hart, Grant and Ingles?

Ingles has to play a game for him to count, right?

 

[Freshtown]

Agree

 

[B-Roy]

Also betting Grant gets an extension this coming off-season. Hopefully we don't shoot ourselves in the foot.

 

[B-Roy]

[TBpup]

I hope we put some protection on the Bucks pick. It is already protected 1-4, but hopefully Joe learned from the NOP disaster and put 5-14 protection on it.

 

[Strenuus]

So now it looks like:

McCollum, Powell, Covington and Nance

For

Grant, Hart, Winslow, Johnson

It's ummm, okay I guess.

It just hurts a little less.

The clippers trade will always be unforgivable but I may at least leave the door unlocked on that now lol

 

[Scalma]

Now it’s pretty much assured we will be making a pick in the first tomorrow. Sharpe/Daniels looking real good now. But I can’t lie, that theoretical OKC offer is pretty intriguing still.
