Ya - clear that everyone overrated Grant and what DET could get for him. Still, I am fine with the deal for DET. Extra first and insane flexibility
Among the most connected insiders in the industry had long floated Grant for 7 being discussed.
The "most connected insiders in the industry" are completely full of then.
They may have gotten word it was Portland in discussions, and made the dumbest assumption possible.
Winning teams would value roleplayer Jerami Grant - the Denver guy who defends and shoots when open, but he wants to be leading scorer Jerami Grant , which is what brings his value down.
Well ... I’m dumb. Thought Weaver valued Grant way more. Thought Grant value staying in Detroit way more.
Me wrong.
This is a good point. He’ll get an opportunity to do a bit of both in Portland. Could be a good fit.
At least this gets Portland out of the OG sweepstakes. I’d rather have him then Grant.
Owning up. Major points.
nah That’s who Portland wants next. I don’t think Toronto will do it for the 7th pick though
TBH, I think a lot of the meager value Detroit received had to do with the contract Grant is looking for (4 year 100M+). That reduces the potential trade partners a lot. Otherwise, surely you would have gotten way more (he's certainly worth more than a projected late 1st 3 years into the future).
