Jerami Grant, yay or nay? (1 Viewer)

[Rastapopoulos]

Apparently Cronin's got the hots for him. I don't get the fascination. What do you think?

 

[SheedSoNasty]

I would be okay if it doesn’t cost much. He shoots a low percentage and doesn’t give much in terms of rebounding. He’s a decent defender though. I’m torn, but I said “sure”.

 

[blazedanugz]

Dame wants him

 

[speeds]

Bring him home.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I voted if can get him cheap but it doesn't really make sense. I want the team to keep tanking so I don't want him right now and by summer he will just have one year left on his contract and I don't want him long term at a higher price, so I guess I should go change my vote.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

I guess for Nurk it makes sense. I wouldn't give up a pick, and it doesn't seem like Detroit has another incentive to send him here.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I am holding out for Christian Wood at end of season. Hopefully somebody else also just as good; afterall we might have two lottery picks. Just need to wait.

 

[craigehlo]

He's defensively competent, has a good handle for a big and can really help with his length in the lane. But after watching more of his Pistons games this week, he loves to iso and just isn't very good on the jumper for his volume. I would hate to deal for him and then have to pay a max deal extension just to keep him.

 

[Mediocre Man]

I said very good player, but it’s really somewhere in between that and “sure, I guess”

His offensive game is a lot like his dad’s. Which is better on a shitty team

Defensively is why you want Grant. He has great length and good defensive instincts, while also liking the challenge of shutting down wing players

 

[B-Roy]

Don't care one way or another. But franchise needs to show Dame SOMETHING after trading literally everyone.

 

[Graduate32]

I want no part of that next contract. I'm not sure he's even worth what he's being paid now.

They will show him that $100 mil 2 year extension. That's all that matters now for him if we are being honest.

thats the thing with teams trying to win

they have to overpay or they dont get what they want

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Would Grant and Hart really screw up the tank?

Simons
NAW
Hart
Grant
Nurkic

That doesn't look anything like the group that lost to Orlando last night. Hell they might even make a run at the playin.

It's Dame who likes Grant. They hit it off at the Olympics. It sounds like it would be an gesture of good will towards Dame and the fans after all this tear down. To actually get something good out of it instead of just cap space that 'might' be able to be used to improve the team.

Maybe we sit Grant down to fully heal that wrist? Haha

 

[Chris Craig]

Not getting him

 

[Cugel]

only as a 3rd option. and for cheap.

 

[B-Roy]

I’m going to be annoyed if we trade the Pelicans likely lotto pick for Jerami Grant

 

[illmatic99]

Bring him home.

he's from the DMV. Was only born in PDX.

 

[Ripcity4life77]

Yeah he was born is Portland cause his father Harvey Grant was playing with the Blazers at the time of his birth but I am not as down on Grant as some are BUT i will agree not sure i would like the trade IF we gave up the Pels pick. However I think there is a decent chance the Pels could make the playoffs this season cause if you look at there schedule i only counted like 7 to 9 games that I would go -- there is a loss the rest are 50/50 type games. This being the case I might not mind as much cause I think there is a good chance the pels will be a playoff team next year so the pick might only be a 15 to 20 type pick.

I think Grant could flourish playing next to Dame but it is a gamble but at this point it might be worth a gamble to keep Dame happy and keep his ass in Portland.

Add Lillard to that lineup.

If they're playing they better screw it up.

That's not true. He was more efficient when he played with Denver.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Lillard won't be playing this year, so not relevant in the context of the post.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Yay, but definitely not for the pelicans pick or Nurk. Ideally Brooklyn doesn't even want Simmons and wants to retain flexibility. Not sure Simmons would be a good fit in Brooklyn so maybe we can still do that in a multi team deal.

Why not? What is the recovery time for his surgery?

 

[blazerfan11]

Lillard won't be playing this year, so not relevant in the context of the post.

"Lillard is expected to miss six-to-eight weeks following surgery. On Saturday, Jan. 22, Lillard spoke with the media for the first time since undergoing surgery, saying he's "not in a rush" to return and more discussions will be had once he's re-evaluated following the six-to-eight-week timeline."

Irrespective of recovery time, there's no benefit to him or to the team for him to play at any point this season.
