Free Agent Jerami Grant 5/160

[Strenuus]

This is just a sandwich topped with MEHo.

Looks like Grant might get the least expensive, guaranteed 5 year deal of the off-season.

Grants deal is looking better and better.

not if you walk around later on. Good pizza by the slice on every corner for a buck!

or at least that was the price pre-COVID.

I saw a couple dollar slices and I'm glad I picked Angelo's Coal Oven Pizzeria. It was damn good.

 

[Nhawz]

I'll sell my Playboy collection to help out

I’ll start an OnlyFans which should net at least 35 bucks a week.

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

I agree a slight overpay, that will look way better after the new TV deal and even a bit better after the CBA and the contracts we see next summer. It's not a great deal by any means, in fact it's just slightly bad, but not nearly as bad as people are freaking out about. I think people are more angry this doesn't signal a youth movement and trading Dame and a lot of folks want to move on from Lillard.

 

[Idog1976]

Just pissed we're not trading dame.

I appreciate your honesty, I think that's why most people are so livid about this. Especially smarter fans on other teams who know this signals no Dame to their team.

Those hating this move can cry in their beer. Looks like a pretty good deal to me. I think what shocks me is Phoenix , LA , and Golden State can make any moves at all. And none of them are unbeatable if Portland can land a quality SF, and backup center. If Sharpe and Scoot are as good as billed , Blazers are gonna be a factor .

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

In other news, I’m done with this shit. Going to the beach. It’s 80 degrees and sunny outside.

For the record… put the Tommy Bahama chair into the water…. Just enough to lightly lap up on my underneath. It was a pretty bitching day.

Some people say “wish you were here” but I was grateful no dogs here.

jerami ends up with the largest total $ contract on day 1 of the 2023 FA.

quick question: who were we bidding against?

Maybe Sacramento.

Got two MEGA slices for $3.50 in Greenwich Village about 2 blocks from the Friends house in 2018. Checks out.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

The reactions are crazy on here. This contract fits easily and is absolutely not an overpay if you look at all at what is being given out. He is worth 30 a year. That is what he got. Good defender. Very good scorer. very good at getting to the line. Hit a couple clutch shots last year. Wants to play here.
So if they got him for 28 million everyone would be happy? Did you all think they were going to get him for 25?

 

[Fairly-Hard]

An average of 2 mil a year over what the projection was and….
It’s okay guys

Exactly!

 

[Natebishop3]

Can we pull this offer? Should we pull this offer?

 

[Labinot41]

Has he signed yet? Can we still take the offer back?

 

[LayneStaley]

I think they knew they were trading Dame before they even signed Grant. This Front Office is JUNK.

Bane was extended for 5 years $207m. He’s not $8m a year better than Grant imo. So I’ll take that.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Don't pull the offer or agents will just avoid Portland like the plague even more than currently. But do ask Grant if he would rather be sign and traded to somebody else.

 

[Cugel]

Grant is useless dump his ass now

I think they did too and I think they're hoping to be able to trade him before the deadline. They want assets.
