Blazers willing to offer Jerami Grant $150 million, 5 years contract?

Speaking of veterans, Blazers forward Jerami Grant is expected to command $30-plus million annually in free agency, according to several NBA executives who spoke to HoopsHype. Multiple teams with cap space are expected to have interest in Grant, including the Detroit Pistons most notably, and could make a run at Grant, one of the top free agents on the market. Multiple executives around the league believe Grant could command a five-year, $150 million contract from Portland to remain long-term.

Huge overpay for just a ‘good’ player

[Bigjmw]

Would yall do  this

Capella/Murray /#15 

for Siakam and #13

Turn around and trade Collins/OO for DeAndre Ayton

Trade Hunter to Indy for Chris Duarte/#26

Take Cason Wallace  at 13 if available.

Trae-Bogi-Bey-Siakam-Ayton

Wallace-Duarte-Griffin-JJ-T. Vuckcevic

If our scheme is anything like what Quinn and Bud runs

Trae the maestro scorer/Playmaker

Bogi/Bey/Griffen the sharp shooters

Siakam the much needed front court shot creator, and secondary facilitator. 

Ayton the legit post scorer fans didn't know they needed. Good rebounder with good midrange.

Eggsactly, although I think Grant brings more to the table.  He ain't worth that tho. 

[LucastheThird]

This act is starting to get old. We're all engaged and talking about possible moves being made by our favorite team. We all know full well that nothing could happen. Being the contrarian isn't cool. No poster with sources has stated any move as a 100% lock to happen. Discuss the merits of the trade and the players involved, and move on. Let's be adults here.

Not sure about Paskal..

Especially if Murray is involved..(he almost has to be, because he and Siakam dont fit on offense)

He fits what the F.O. wants defensively

But offensively the Last 3 seasons Siakam shot, from 3:

.297 (on 4.4 att)*

.344 (on 3.2 att)*

.324 (on 4.0 att)*

AND for his career, in the playoffs he is shooting .258 from 3..

And, he played:

56 out of 82 games

68 out of 82 games

71 out of 82 games

He played ALOT of minutes on those knees too:

35.8 mpg

37.9 mpg

37.4 mpg

He's also going on 30 yrs old..

IDK man..

Be careful Hawks..

What's a creative package?   

 

Raptors trade:  Siakam

Hawks trade:  Hunter, a future FRP, a coupon for 6 driveway snow shovelings next winter, Magic City gift cards, a tour of the Coke plant.

 

 

 

Hawks:   We have Capela, Hunter,  and we will pay for Ujiri to have 5 free trips on the Peachtree Trolley and a Coupon for 15 Lapdances  that are redeemable at either Magic City, Onyx, Platinum GC, Allure GC, Rain GC or any participating outlet. 

Ujiri was waiting to see if this included the Clermont Lounge.  He told Korver, he was too classy for the other stuff.

I know some are feel like shedding salary and acquiring draft picks is waving the white flag. But look at the extensions we have looming next summer, we have no choice.

I think the Hawks org is seeing the tea leaves here. If we stay status quo this year and expect a different outcome.... Trae is a goner.....

Basically 3 of the final 4 teams last year all underwent major change.  Why should we be different?

Has nothing to do with how Trae feels, in particular.  This is the way things have to be.  If the Nuggets feel their core could be better, who are we to hang onto ours so tightly?

love the rumors leading up to the draft, but on the day of the draft I've lost all interest in them.   I'm fine just ignoring everything and waiting 7 hours till the draft starts.    

We might be ok with that too. 

[h4wkfan]

Tonight’s Prediction:

DH + 15 for 7 + Jalen Smith

we draft Ausar Thompson

Capela gets traded for a future FRP and K Martin Jr.
