Sucks that Walker works in the trade but Reath does not. $29, 081 difference in salary
I value Walker's rebounding.

Grant and Walker vs Grant and Reath
for
Rue, Dalton, and Gabe

There is no trade in the works lol.
 
Really hoping that the Lakers love Knecht.
Still hoping more for a Sacramento trade. I think them getting DeRozan should make them interested in another forward who can hit threes (not a strength for Demar).

Sabonis or some other players have done this.... Team can renegotiate current year contract to a higher amount and then do an extension off that higher amount. Hollinger and Duncan made it sound like he could get basically the full max now I believe.

I thought that was only available when there was an option year, either player or team, and Markkanen had no option in his current deal, only a partial guarantee, and the full guarantee has already been picked up

no biggie, it could be possible. Hard to see the Blazers being able to horn their way into Markkanen trade. Ainge will want all the assets for the Jazz nad he's not prone to sharing

Fox, Huerter, Murray, and Sabonis are all 36%+ from 3. I'm sure they think they're fine. But what are you thinking--Huerter, Lyles, and a first for Grant?

I do too, but I'm not sure the Blazers do with Clingan on the team and getting back Rui. We've already heard rumblings that Bari has been offered in multiple deals. I get it, but I love that he's an elite level rebounder. They don't want to give him another contract.

There's nothing the Kings have that would be as good as the Lakers potential package of 2 firsts or 1 first and Knecht. And don't bring up mediocre Keegan. He's meh.

Yeah, good point about Clingan.
Walker, IMO, fits well next to Grant and Ayton. But maybe not as much next to Clingan and Camara.

Huerter kind of fell off for them last semester after looking like he was the difference the previous season, and with DeRozan arriving he falls out of the rotation, I imagine (especially if Devin Carter lives up to his "most NBA-ready" rep).

I mean I'm not a huge fan of that package either, but I think the players are more flippable than the Lakers' drek.

Yeah, I could see how Rui would be a much better fit with those two.

Yeah, even though Rui could start for us this next season, he still is essentially a role player who would ideally come off the bench once we get an upgrade. I am ok with him and Dalton (and Gabe) for Grant. One FRP would seal the deal, but I am not sure it would be a deal-breaker for me. The Lakers would have to take on Grant's contract, and although he is worth it, it is still a plus for us not having it. That has to be factored in.

I need at least 2 firsts or one with Knecht. The other players involved are irrelevant to me.

I don't see Rui being a part of our future so his role on this team is strictly as salary to be used in future trades.

Same with Vincent.

Ball wise, I don't there's some huge chasm in talent between Rui and Jerami, especially considering impact. Maybe Grant would be better on a winning team.

If you don't think there is a huge difference between the two, then why can't he be part of the future? He is 26 and he shot 42% from deep last year. I don't see him as a future starter, but if he can keep that up he would be a solid bench player moving forward.

Maybe something more along the lines of this?

God this trade is depressing
 
Bleacher Report, so...

I don't think it makes any sense for Orlando. Hell, if they want to do that, we could give them Anfernee for the same payoff (although I'd much prefer Anthony Black to Jett Howard, although Jett Howard certainly looked miles better this Summer League than he did as a rookie).

I assume you're ignoring defense. I mean, it makes psychological sense as a Blazers fan, but you'd really have to to see Rui and Grant as the same player.

Or maybe you're just talking about testicles?

I highly doubt Joe would settle for no FRP for Jerami

Some say the Lakers are unwilling to include Knecht, but in that scenario, he was and would be considered one 1 FRP.
I agree that we need one more pick, but dumping Grant's salary should be considered an important piece to the trade.

I never thought Markannan could be part of a direct Blazers deal. It was probably 10 replies ago or something, but my original point or question or comment was Lauri possible extension/ availability having an Aug 8 "deadline" could be something that held up other teams getting a Grant deal finalized.

Walker is so irrelevant to the Blazers and all other teams. He's a scrub throw in with an irrelevant salary.

This is why I'm confused by all the posters saying the Blazers should hold firm for two firsts or such. If we can get one first and a cheaper contract for basically equivalent players it's a great deal.
