Way too much to pay for Jerami Grant, who's going to want a huge contract next year. #20 and Lonnie maybe.
- I think that Jerami Grant would be perfect for our Spurs.
- He would solve our PF spot from day one
- I believe that this move would take us to the playoffs again.
Our Starting 5
PG. DeJounte Murray
SG. Devin Vassell
SF. Keldon Johnson
PF. Jerami Grant
C. Jakob Poeltl
Our Bench 5
PG. Tre Jones vs Pick 38
SG. Josh Primo vs Joe Wieskamp vs Pick 25
SF. Josh Richardson vs Doug McDermott
PF. Jack Landale vs. Bates-Diop
C. Zach Collins
This trade would be great for the Pistons too.
They get the chance to draft two / three young talents that fit their timeline.
they can trade their picks to get to the top of the draft.
They now will have the opportunity to normalize their bigs rotation.
Lonnie goes to a place where he can make mistakes without too much criticisim.
For Jerami, this is a great trade too.
He gets the possibility to be the number one option in a system that have great role players.
He will have the opportunity to play within his strengths, his desires without the need to carry the team by himself.

LOL yeah let‘s throw away the 9th pick for a 28-year old player on an expiring contract who wants to get paid even more next season. Spurs can easily geht him for less at the trade deadline if they want him
There are narrow situations where trading 9 for Grant can make sense. Not this one. Not including 20, not using cap space, not getting busted for tampering.
Jerami Grant is not trash, and he'll command a nice package in return via S&T. It's just that he doesn't move the needle for us, we're more than one piece away and we're better served building the roster a season or two before going all in.
lol what?
I'm a Grant fan but there's no way he's worth a 9th pick, let alone 9, 20 and Lonnie. Also, in what World is Jeremi a #1 option on a playoffs team?
Is Jerami Grant even a #1 option for a cellar dwelling team?
This trade would cost not only picks 9 and 20 but some future picks as well after the Spurs are hit with tampering investigations for doing an illegal trade.
Even if it was legal it’s still a gross overpay for someone who could easily walk in a year.
Yup. Though OP is spot on that Grant would be a perfect piece and allow KJ to slide down to the 3 spot.
Gross overpay is right though.
this is a horrible trade wtf
Thanks (I wouldn't mind Jerami on the Spurs), but no thanks to giving up that much to get him.
This team isn’t good enough to justify a trade like that. He’s way out of the timeline and wouldn’t push this deep in the playoffs.
I think he's a 3rd option on a competing team. If we acquired him (not this unrealistic trade idea though) I think we'd have a team with 2 3rd option guys (DL) and we'd still be looking for our alpha.
Jeremi Grant is a league average player who is as good as he'll ever be being paid twice the league average. Wouldn't even really want him for the #20 pick much less the #9.
After first exhausting trade up options for Murray and if necessary Mathurin, I'd considering trading 9 for someone like this.
His being 28, expiring, the cost to extend (considering these things and his priority of being a pseudo star, he's likely to accept market value and they'd obviously gauge that beforehand), none of it really matters considering this is a "soft" re-build.
They'll be hard pressed to lure someone better in free agency anytime soon, he's a good theoretical fit and presuming relative health should have decent resale value if they decide to pivot in a few years. That said, it'd probably take something like this . . .
Hornets receive: Poeltl, 25
Pistons receive: Washington Jr., Jones, 9
Spurs receive: Grant, 15
Would not give up a lottery pick for Grant. He wants to get paid. At most I'd give up a 2nd rounder for him. I see him more of a salary dump than bringing in an asset that is locked in for several years.
I don’t like the fit, but i dont think such a package is far off for what it’s take to get Grant in this crap ass fee agent class. POR is probably dangling 7 and other assets to shake him lose from DET for example.
I'd rather bump Zollins' minutes up than give away the fruit of our tank for some guy who is just kind of ok at best and isn't young.
Not to mention he’s on a freakin expiring and will absolutely bolt from San An-freakin-tonio the moment he can.
Hard pass
Some people don't think things through.
Well, some people don't even think.
or we have to overpay to keep him. Hard pass.
Reminds of days gone by with the ol "why doesn't our got front office trade Austin Daye plus our #29 draft pick for KD?"
This post perfectly encapsulates the treading water approach the spurs have taken these past 4 years. Just no direction whatsoever. They really have to hit a home run with this draft.
