Trade Grant to Portland for Mil first done deal

[hoopsjock]

there is one esoteric mechanism by which players get extended then traded. Could be waiting for that.

So if it was an extend and trade, it would have to be 3-years maximum.

How does that affect matching the TPE?

 

[Fairly-Hard]

I don't know who this guy is but he doesn't have a blue checkmark so I'm skeptical on what he's trying to sell.

I gave him one dammit!

 

[illmatic99]

So if it was an extend and trade, it would have to be done by Thursday and 3-years maximum.

that's fine by me

doesn't i don't think. this is an extension past his # for this year.

He could only get a two year extension in that case. It says by the extend and trade rules you can only extend by three years including any years remaining on the current deal. Grant would have to want to wait and sign his big extension in December.

Again, it wouldn't be fine by Grant because if it's done by Thursday next season counts for those three seasons. So he only gets a two year extension when he wants a four year.

An extension would have no effect on his current salary for the trade.

I’m hoping the number will be around $20m/yr on any extension for Grant. I’m also hoping he’s the third option on offense and not second.

He'll be the 3rd option because we have Dame and Ant.

Some games. There could be times he is the best bet for second option. Matchups.
Also lets all presume the Blazers will not be getting Durant which i would say is not likely. I guess possible but not likely?

 

[BankTeller]

Then do you think around $20m/yr for another two years is too optimistic for an extension?

 

[illmatic99]

A starting salary for Grant around 23 mil would make him the ~50th highest paid player in the league. That's commensurate with his production.

I’m not mad at that number

I think $20 million is fine. Creeping above $25 million is more questionable, but justifiable considering it was part of the reason why we got him for relatively cheap.

 

[hoopsjock]

I'm wrong again, the 3 years includes next year. So the actual extension part would only be 2 years.

I doubt Grant would sign a 2-year extension over waiting 6 months for a 4-year one.

 

[Labinot41]

I hope the 4th year is a Team Option

 

[blazerkor]

I bet it's a player option.

4th or 5th option.
There is zero reason to re-sign Nurk if he isn't getting the ball on offense.

 

[hoopsjock]

The options on the table for Grant right now:

1) 2-year/$45 million extension as part of the trade (the most we could offer right now).

2) 4-year/likely $100+ million extension in 6 months.

I'm guessing he chooses the 2nd one but there is some risk considering his knee flaring up last season or a worse injury occurring (please no).

There is if Dame wants him

 

[blazerfan11]

No point in paying Nurk in that case. Get a center who will play hard if he doesn't touch the ball much on offense.

 

[HailBlazers]

No concerns about Chauncey getting the most out of Nurk. I think his best is yet ahead.

Nurk actually is a low mileage center for his age and experience...couple years off rehabbing will do that....it's not the years...its the mileage. I think the Beast is yet to show what he can do healthy for a season. We'll get a better version with Grant next to him and a healty Dame. We're on our way to a pick your poison starting core.

When did I talk about Aldridge

If you hit that little arrow in the quote it'll show you what I'm replying to.

 

[Mediocre Man]

So have we figured out why this isn’t official yet?

Is he just not available for the physical?

Are we waiting for a certain date?

My assumption is that they're letting the new league year start and allowing for the possibility of some other deal being dovetailed into this one.

Yeah, and I wasn't talking about Aldridge...
