Excellent since the feeling is mutual about the majorly overpaid Jerami Grant.


No one should want Grant.


I don't agree with that. I think some teams should want him. You just need the unwanted salary to match and a belief he's not completely regressed as much as he signed to play with Dame on a competitive team and the rug immediately got pulled out and he's over it. I can't say for sure, but at a price of just taking on the risk, some teams should absolutely take it. I'd be all for Dallas doing so. Pretty sure I proposed something around Maxi/Klay for him and I think I even included a bit of value to Portland as part of it.


I can get with that which is why I said that the salary relief alone is more than fair compensation.

A pick in top of that needs more actual value - not a useless Thybulle - coming back.

POR is not sending a pick. Ridiculous.

You read them wrong. He is saying if Portland wants a pick on top of the massive salary relief they need to add more value than Thybulle.

I did interpret that wrong. My mistake. A team as bad as POR has no business sending out picks without a serious return.

Barf. This is terrible for the Kings. You could include a first pick to the Kings and it'd be barf.

They might not even do Rui for DeMar. DeMar is an awkward fit in LA.


imagine DeRozan going to Miami to fill Butler's midi role.
