Free Agent Jerami Grant 5/160

[andalusian]

So he got like twice as much as Barnes?

He also got less than MPJr. This is probably about market correct given the state of the NBA (meaning there are some better values there but there are worse contracts out there for the same position / role).

Same basically as Nurk and Ant, about market correct

 

[STOMP]

Any word from Dame yet?

They've spoken to him post draft. Do you think they'd sign Grant to this kind of money if they didn't know if Dame was coming back?

Cool! Got another core piece for Dame's prime. This year is going to be luxury tax season and I'm all for it! SPEND SPEND SPEND JODY!!!!!!

Dame was always coming back...he just trolled the league for fun.

Just pissed we're not trading dame.

Whoever is mocking this deal has not seen the MPjr, Gordon Hayward deals, would have been nice to pay less, but this is the range for vetran SF/PF starters on team that do not want to tank.

Wish it was cheaper, but if the team wants to keep Dame, market correct is about as good as one can hope for.

If I wanted to see $hit on a wall. I'd go to a park bathroom in Portland.

 

[PCmor7]

Yeah exactly. Every time I read someone bitch about the Vulcans/Jody being cheap I want to bang my head against the wall.
They might noy be very competent, but they sure s hell are not pinching pennies.

I stand corrected. They pinch pennies in the wrong areas so they can overspend in the wrong areas.

Good lord.

 

[STOMP]

Dame was always coming back...he just trolled the league for fun.

My speculation... if he prioritizes winning a championship over playing in Portland where that isnt happening anytime soon, much better to go nearer the trade deadline. At that point he can better choose a destination with a team that is healthy, clicking and just needing him to push them over the top.

[PCmor7]

Dame is staying. That's all I care about.
Grant still needs to be taken in context to changes in the salary cap coming up.

Right after Windhorst said that the Sixers weren't extending Maxey because he's being traded for Dame (according to Sixers Twitter)?

 

[PCmor7]

You guys, shut up. He's got a family to feed.

The players make a lot, but they spend a lot ....

Good lord.

the term you're looking for is penny wise/dollar stupid

[Pinwheel1]

4 team trades are difficult to make everyone happy. Maybe they can shorten it.

 

[PCmor7]

He makes a lot of money, but he spends a lot of money...

(Someone remind me what Knicks player said that.)

Darn. Beat me to it. Patrick Ewing.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Half of it is non-Blazers fans were convinced Dame was being moved, so they’re taking out their micro-aggression on Grant’s contract.

A source of reason? Who said anything about that.. Did I?

More like a public pulse check.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Smh yuk.. this dude sucked the last 3 months of the season. He started hot as fuck the first 2 months is what got him paid

 

[AldoTrapani]

Jerami was playing like an all star to start last season..

Then was trash after January

True. Unfortunately, negative fans are far more likely to post on there than positive fans. Therefore, the pulse check is misrepresented.
Thanks for posting it regardless.

 

[bigbailes]

I get it ... it's the Portland tax combined with the keeping Dame tax that has this deal at 160 million. It's an overpay, and even might say a gross overpay but it is what it is. The good news is he's only 29, so the final year of the deal will have him at 34 and hopefully the TV deal makes this a moveable contract in year 4.

 

[BassPlaya]

If my team signs them....they paid too much
If my team doesn't sign them, the team is too cheap
If it's a FA from another team, they are worth throwing money at
If it's a FA from our team, they are a low value trade asset

What did I leave out?

Jody is cheap.
Jody is wasting money.
