The schedule is much easier the second half and 5-3 puts us at 9-3 in our last twelve. Remaining SoS as an FYI for others: Probably the most interesting one here is the Grizzlies. They have by far the easiest schedule left and they have been rolling through the tougher teams. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member sturt Posted January 25, 2022 Premium Member Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 Not what most are thinking about when the term "big move" is discussed. But this is a critical, dire need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Final_quest Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 Forget the record. I've always said you make any deal that improves our team. It doesn't matter if we are winning or losing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Wretch Posted January 25, 2022 Premium Member Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 I'll say again so it doesn't get misremembered years from now.... I don't see Grant as a replacement or vast improvement over Hunter. More as a stable interim buffer through the development of our wings. He can shoot from the perimeter, create his own shot, rebound and defend. There's nothing unattractive about him other than what you would potentially have to give up. Which, in a ralistic market would be like a protected first rounder and filler. I'm certainly not interested in Grant for some of the deals that I'm seeing tossed around. I was also more interested in this before the start of last season and during Hunter's injury down time. Obviously, if our boy continues on his trajectory, or even just holds this level of production, and if we continue winning, then that interest level decreases further. At the end of the day, if we can get him for some dead weight / spare parts, then I'd love to see it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't get that here. While Cam could have a bigger role with another team (think a team like Houston that is tanking and will give minutes to young players to lose games and develop), there is no conceivable team in the NBA where Grant could have a bigger role than he has on the tanking Pistons today. There are exactly zero teams other than Detroit that would let him lead the team in scoring and FGA. The role only downsizes from here even if he went to a team like OKC that is tanking this year. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one ever makes a deal, self-evidently, without one of those two as the premise. Some of us believe you make deals posited on the likelihood of it improving this season's success. Others think this group is already a lost cause, and so, it makes sense to be more open to deals regardless of their possible effect on chemistry and this season's results. Sooooooooooooooo... to the point... your record kinda points you to one of those premises... that's why you bother to look at record. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter if we are winning or losing. Can do that in the off season when it's more palatable due to having seen how this group finishes the year. Maybe they go to a finals or win a championship. An in season move could do that too. I just think the asking prices for trades will be more reasonable after the season when GMs have seen their teams flame out in the playoffs and they know the draft positions of picks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Popular Post Sothron Posted January 25, 2022 Premium Member Popular Post Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 I don't want Grant. Like even if for expiring Gallo or Wright. No interest for me. He already said he wants to be a primary offensive option on a new team. That is red flag city right there. No thanks. 11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Mule Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 Seems that someone somewhere continues to try to trade Colling away. Some of these trades make very little sense for Atlanta and others make no sense at all. One would certainly believe, if these people are correct, that Collins has demanded that we trade him right now! Detroit has a player with similar $$$ contract. Collins is signed for several years. The Piston's contract expires with the season. Let's trade for him and let him walk at season's end. Yeah, right. Travis knows what he's doing. If he pulls this off, I'll have a hard time believing. How about you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
