Let me ask you a serious question, and really think about it.
The league, as it stands right now is super competitive. Its insane how tight the standings are except for the very few trash receptacles. There a bunch of teams that could really, really use Grant, and this may be the highest his value will ever be. It's a moment in time. Unless you honestly believe Grant is a key cog moving forward when this team finally starts to become relevant again, his value could land you riches for the future.
That's how I view it, and ill also add that I don't want any confusion. This is Cades team, and the sooner Grant is gone, Cade will have the last shot, without question, each, and every time. He will.decide how the end game goes.
Time to trade Grant. By the time Killian, Cade, and the '22 pick are ready to compete for the playoffs Grant is going to be past his prime.
I disagree on three counts.
1. Grant is 27 now and certainly the possibility exists that he can get better, i.e. his trade value could increase.
2. This team has played 22 games together. Making the determination now that it's time to break up the core is premature.
3. There is no way to determine exactly when this team will be competing nor when Grant will be on the decline, especially when you're talking about a window of 1-3 years from now.
Again, you can't expect to be competing for a championship with a roster comprised entirely of kids. There have to be some vets in there to provide some guidance and maturity. Why can't that be Grant in 2-3 years if it takes that long?
