Yeah, I saw his comment the other day about wanting to be somewhere that valued him.

Here’s my idea from the other day. Do you think this flies? @shopson67 thought it was too cheap and would require another first. My argument was that they are getting value in clearing cap in a rebuild here so 1 first for Brog makes sense and it’s cap relief and a 2nd for Grant who I think most of the league sees as a questionable contract.

You gotta give up 2 firsts

Clippers and 2030

Still leaves you 2 firsts to deal on draft night with whatever cap space is left plus Springer

Do we have any posters that have been Thunder fans that became Warriors fans that became Nets fans that became Suns fans?
Honestly he could be the Goatum dude. That’s the kind of thing he would do to throw us off.

This is what I was talking about. I bet they ask another pick too otherwise it looks good.

I hope it doesn’t happen

If they have to send two picks, I’m playing hardball and holding on to the Clippers 2028 unprotected pick. That pick is going to have a ton of value. Not parting with that one. I think I win that game of chicken. I don’t think there’s much of a market for Jerami Grant and his contract.

In a world where siakam is getting 50m more in dollars and goes for 3 firsts i think one for grant is fine

Personally, I think Siakam is a better player than Grant. Siakam has been successful as a first option and been All NBA in that role. I think Grant has failed when he’s been thrust into that role.

I mean, he went 3x more

So sure he’s a better player

Grant is the 1 in Portland now and doing fine

He’s not the issue there


Ayton still napping while making money money than him is

He is better but the difference isn't as big as you think.

I think if Portland trading Grant straight up they could get 2 1st's but I think in a package deal with Brogdon....the Sixers could give up Harris, an expiring contract and 2 1st's.

Maybe you guys were in the group that’s in the exception but I think the board was universally agreed that the Grant contract was an overpay.
