I'm just not sure anyone associated with the Blazers besides @Fez Hammersticks would go into the luxury tax for Kispert.

Oops, I looked at the last 2 columns quickly, thinking tax and apron. I definitely wouldn't go in to the tax for him either. Toss in low salaries to cover that.

I'd rather go for Aldama or Jovic than Kuminga. Both would fit well into a Grant open spot, or off the bench and are the exact type of player we are looking for. Not flashy, but solid team first guys.

I would doubt that Grant has any positive value as long as he's missing games because of some vague Achilles problem. After the last couple of seasons that's a pretty toxic word in the NBA

Four trade proposals for Trae Young: What could Atlanta get for the star guard?

Trae Young could become the NBA trade season's first domino. Let's help the Hawks find the best move for the star guard.

Trail Blazers get:

Trae Young

Hawks get:

Jerami Grant
Robert Williams III

Portland is flying under the radar as a team in serious need of a point guard: The Trail Blazers are suffering from a dearth of playmaking talent with Lillard out for the season, Jrue Holiday out since mid-November, Shaedon Sharpe still suffering growing pains and 21-year-old Scoot Henderson both unproven at the NBA level and absent because of a hamstring injury with no clear timetable for a return. Entering Monday night, Deni Avdija was the only Blazer with at least 100 assists this season.

Young would provide an immediate boost to the Trail Blazers' 24th-ranked offense, and at least in theory, Portland has the perimeter and interior defenders to cover for him on the defensive end -- even if that formula hasn't panned out in Atlanta.

Grant, out since mid-December because of Achilles tendinitis, would improve Atlanta's forward rotation. The veteran forward is averaging 20 points on 60% true shooting as part of a solid bounce-back season. The one complication is Grant's salary, which is smaller than Young's but extends for an extra year: Grant is owed $34.2 million in 2026-27 with a $36.4 million player option for 2027-28. -- Kram

I'd do the deal, get out of the last year of Grant's contract. I think we could flip one of our guards easier in the summer than Grant.

Though it would be funny to have all of Dame, Jrue, Scoot, Trae on the roster next year.

If we ended up trading for Trae or any other PG on the market I doubt we’d keep all of our other PG. Scoot or Jrue or both would likely be moved in other deals.
