WOJ: Jerami Grant to Denver for a First Round Draft Pick

By the time they are done they won't have a roster left and should be one of the worst 3 teams in the league next season
Better hope those draft picks were worth it...
Presti is overrated . getting that haul from LAC looks good, but none of those picks are good, and putting Russ in trade talks without his knowledge , has now pushed the one guy that was committed to the org in Westbrook wanting out.

SGA is a future star and the 2024 and 2026 LAC picks, along with the 2 swaps, could be really good. I don't think the message from the moves the last few days is that Presti is overrated, since it was Ibaka for Dipo, Sabonis; then Dipo Sabonis for PG; then PG for SGA, 5 picks, two swaps.

The impression that I have gotten is that he has an itchy trigger finger and often takes less than he should. Goes for the picks this time around and SGA is not a all star upside player imo. He will be a solid starter but lacks the motor and work ethic to become great.

Gordon and 2 minimum guys for Gallo just about gets them out of the tax, gets them a similar player and they can flip Gordon's smaller contract for assets if they want. Rockets need more size

That's interesting, as Gordon would be a good SG for OKC, but after trading Grant I'm not sure there's a net win for OKC out of this. Probably better just moving Gallo for a pick.

Good move for both teams.

That's going to be hard just because his contract is so large it's hard for good teams to match without sending it stuff they want to keep, but not impossible

True, but I think Minny could make some sense with Dieng and a 1st.

For anyone wondering about protections, Zach Lowe says it's top-10 protected for 3 years, then two 2nds. Fat chance of Denver being a bottom-10 the next three years though!

Take that back.

I'm not crazy about it for Denver. I mean it's whatever, but I'd have thought they could do better.

Amazing deal for OKC to save that much money and get a pick back for a guy who doesn't move the needle.

Ahah, sorry about that. My brother and I spend quite some time every day on those files, and we're very happy to share them on Twitter and RealGM.
But I confess, between that work, my job and everything, it's hard to find additional time to answer here when the season starts (otherwise I know a girl who'd be quite mad and I don't want to sleep alone... :lol:

). I try to watch a couple games every week thought.
But we see all your replies don't worry, funny to see how far you can go
