Trade Grant to Portland for Mil first done deal

[B-Roy]

Okay in all seriousness, who do y'all want next? If I change my avatar to them we'll get them in 2 years.

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.

doubt it. The 2025 draft is so far away that you probably give up that leverage. If it was a 2023 I would expect it though.

SMH.

Another "win now" trade for a team no where close to contention. With Grant on board can the team re-sign Simons and Nurk without going into the Lux Tax?

 

[Strenuus]

All this being said...

Don't max out Grant pls.

They wouldn't have done it if they couldn't.

So losing the N.O pick when they made the playoffs, did not make a difference in obtaining Grant.
We did not use #7 and probably never even considered it. Shocking.....

 

[TBpup]

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

I like Grant at this value, but hope the Blazers then don't sign him to that ridiculous extension of $28M/year.

 

[B-Roy]

I have to imagine OG is out of play now because we just used the TPE on Grant. Unless we massively overpay....

I'm not sure... who is the best case scenario to trade for? Or should we keep the pick? Kinda want Daniels now. He could play 1 2 or 3. He is a willing passer to feed Dame/Ant/Grant and he's a great defender.

 

[Labinot41]

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

Sure, i wouldn't be surprised to see in a Blazers uniform next year. Utah is a mess right now

 

[Freshtown]

Pistons fans meltdown

Is 7 and Bledsoe an overpay?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

So CJ for Hart and Grant.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Detroit has $50+m — this was to setup their Ayton pitch

I don’t think they can extend him until December anyway. They can see how he fits and make a decision later.

 

[Idog1976]

Also people crying about second rounders COME ON! Look at the value here! We turned a quarter and a couple of Nickels into a Half-Dollar. That is always, always a win in the NBA when you consolidate like that.

 

[Strenuus]

Is 7 and Bledsoe an overpay?

That's an underpay. They want a future and a current it sounds like.

Kevin Durant. Make it happen.

Dame
Hart
Grant
Durant
Nurk

Would have to be some combination of players once Simons is able to be sign-and-traded

Who is crying about second rounders?

<<Insert 5 different replies from people saying if they were GM they could have gotten 3 1st round picks from OKC and the entire Orlando Magic franchise for that pick.>>

still have Bledsoe’s contract in theory, but we’ll see

Good. Take the Suns down a peg.

 

[B-Roy]

Is 7 and Bledsoe an overpay?

I thought 7 + TPE was just the right amount. Asking the Raptors to eat 18M guaranteed of Bledsoe seems like a non-starter.

In theory the Hart + 7 still works but that seems like an overpay to me.

Some folks up above read it yourself.

That's @barfo's fantasy team!

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Matey!

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

Well, Well, Well!!!

Where is that hasty FIRE CRONIN thread????

 

[oldmangrouch]

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

Why would we? This deal will have roughly the same impact as Powell or RoCo. Why is everyone so impressed by a trade that won't move the needle?

 

[riverman]

Great first move of the off season....welcome to Portland!

 

[Ed O]

I didn't want grant but I want him a little more with that.

Value.

Yeah, that's what I think. He's a starting-level guy and he's not costing us much. Depending on what else we do, it could look better or worse.
