I really appreciate Jerami Grant. How can we get him

    Just at the end of the game, kawhi Leonard was completely out of rhythm with his defense.

    I think he is very, very suitable for our system, he has excellent physical conditions, can run, can jump, can defend, can shoot three-point ball, can rotate defense.

    Love this player too but @BimaThug has already warned CF not to expect a SnT.

    Just not financially feasible.

    I was surprised/jealous when Denver got him for just a late first round pick... that was a steal. I wonder if Houston made the same offer would Presti had accept

    i mentioned in the clippers/nuggets game thread that maybe he could have been included in the russ/cp3 trade. And another poster said that tillman probably didnt wanna pay the tax. Either way he would have been a great get for us

    Bringing back our team the way it is will be impressive enough with Rivers and Green being free agents, very possible, but also taxing. Wishful thinking to think we’ll be able to do better than that.

    The reasonable price of his next contract will be 4 years - $70 million to $80 million. Our appropriate chip is EG, but how to persuade the management of Nuggets to trade with us...

    If only the deal swapping Russ and Paul can be done a little earlier... Nuggets got Grant for only 1 FRP, which we can pay as well. But Fertitta would probably kill it, because acquiring Grant would inevitably put us over tax line.

    Grant belongs to the kind of energy forward that every team loves. He has excellent athletic ability, defensive ability, and can shoot. He can't be laid off...

    They already have Barton and Monte Morris behind Murray and Gary Harris. They don’t really need Gordon. Besides I wouldn’t want to give up Gordon for Grant straight up when we already have Covington.

    Grant ain’t some unicorn. The problem is the rockets rather pay a premium to have the rights to trade for the Grants/Covington instead of developing them.

    The Rockets offered a #1 for Grant and OKC passed and dealt him to Denver. The Rockets wanted Grant and I am sure they still do. Having said that, I think it isn’t likely.

    Giannis prolly wants out of Milwaukee loses in the second round. Maybe if that happens bucks go on sale and we can pry away Middleton.

    Giannis can want out, but he needs to look in the mirror. Part of the problem is he lacks intelligence.
