Sixers trade: Morris, 24 PHI 2nd, 27 PHI 2nd
Sixers get: Trent Jr
Knicks trade: Fournier/27 NYK 2nd
Knicks get: Morris
Raptors trade: Trent Jr
Raptors get: Fournier/24 PHI 2nd/27 PHI 2nd/27 NYK 2nd
Philly turns the seldom used Morris and a couple 2nds into a bench shooter around Embiid/Maxey
Knicks turn the not used Fournier and one 2nd into the backup PF their fans keep mentioning as their only need(outside a star of course).
Raptors get 3 2nds out of Trent and I think there is a chance Fournier could replace a chunk of what Trent brings, but they are clearly more about seasons after this one. Especially if one or more of the expiring forwards get dealt.

Exactly. You wouldn’t notice an impact on the court with him.

The problem is you need stars like Mitchell in the playoffs when you really need a bucket under pressure. None of those Cavs players are gonna step up. Garland certainly didn't last year but we will see.
Cleveland has to also realize that probably Donovan Mitchell never wanted to be in Cleveland. Sure he is playing hard but it doesn't seem like he's really into what they're trying to build out there. It is really time to trade him and just build a team like they were doing before the trade with the Jazz.

How exactly do we get Grant?
He's making 30 million.
We gave a bum like Hart a 4 year deal making more than Mitch - who wants that Contract?
Plus, Portlands gonna want pics.
We have to try for guys like Isaiah Stewart, Isaac, Patrick Williams.
We have to somehow get a player better than Brunson and then a defensive wing.
I actually think getting Grant is much easier than getting an OG for example. Portland is clearly headed the rebuild route and Grant does not fit their timeline. They have Scoot, Ayton, Sharpe, Simons who are all 20-24 years old while Grant just turned 29. I'm positive they would consider cashing in some assets for Grant. In terms of trade: Something like Fournier + 2 FRPs + filler would work capwise...Grant makes 27million while Fournier makes 19mill. You only need a 3-4 million filler. Definitely possible. Or something like Fournier + Grimes + 1 FRP.
I like the idea because Grant would enable us to play so many different line-ups and throw so many different looks at opposing teams. Add to that that he has played both the 3 and 4 a lot in his career and he has played as a first, second, third and fourth option in different situations. He can create off the dribble but can also play off ball and is a good character guy. On top of that he likely wouldn't cose multiple assets while putting us in a much better position to compete with Boston, Miami, Milwaukee. Imagine a long defender like Grant on Tatum or Butler or Middleton instead of RJ. In the frontcourt you could go:

NOH Trades: Gordon Hayward, Late Protected 1st
Then in the off-season we maneuver to have enough cap to make OG a free agent deal starting at $28m per and then we re-up IQ and make him a starter.
Mitch / OG / RJ / IQ / Brunson.... that's a squad I can root for. Hard hat NY type team.
