The Portland Trail Blazers are not expected to seriously entertain trade offers at this deadline for Jerami Grant, sources tell Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports.
Grant re-signed with the Blazers on a five-year, $160 million deal this past offseason.
In 34 games this season, Grant is averaging 21.1 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 33.6 minutes.
Grant is represented by Rich Paul.

How dare they also want to have NBA calibre players.
You're right. They should stretch and waive him so he can sign with the Lakers on a vet min.
Regardless, this is probably posturing. I think they'd be happy to get off that contract.

No rebuilding team as bad as the Blazers should have any good vets that are capable of being starters on playoff teams. Young players need vets around, just not playoff starters. I'd rather see Grant competing for a CHIP, not baby sitting potential future All Star level players. I will conceed that Portland realizes that free agents aren't coming there so holding onto really good veterans might be a strategy even if these vets aren't good enough to help you win without superstars.

Oh my... Does anyone agree with such stupidity? Right, Blazers shouldn´t have any decent players and loose all their games by 50. Btw if Grant ever cared for winning he wouldn´t left Denver to chase meaningless stats on crappy teams.
