Would be a huge get for the Hawks, running mate for Trae with a big boost to backcourt defense. I'm not sure if Pop wants to commit to a full rebuild.

Trading away their best player who's on one of the best contracts in the NBA doesn't see smart in the short term or long term unless they're really going to embrace the tank this season.

I agree, he’s young enough to be apart of the rebuild. But if they get three 1sts and Collins, move Poetl for something future oriented and some of those wings who need to be resigned soon they could quickly start looking like the Thunder.

Fureys49ers Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Every rumored player to be had via trade is picking up rumored steam else where and not Sacramento. Don’t love that, either gonna do something reckless now or nothing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve actually thought for a few years now that Pops ultimate goal at this point is to set the franchise up with a many future assets as possible and once the time was right hand the team over the Becky Hammon. Seems like the coach in waiting and Pop doesn’t want the 1st female coach to come in and bomb Edited June 23, 2022 by BigC421/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-ALL-DAY Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 If the Blazers can get OG tonight to go along with Grant? Now we're talking! Simons/Lillard will be a dangerous scoring duo but they badly need(ed) perimeter athleticism and length. This will make them much better, as long as Lillard gets back to full health. Getting someone like Batum would also be a nice addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigC421/ Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 So now that I’ve started the recovery stage of the Grant return I’m trying to think of best ways this could legitimately all play out. Ayton seems to be the presumed goal but if Weaver is actually playing chess and this was a 1 step ahead move the plan could be to take on a bad contract or 2 even. Would the Hornets give us 13&15 to take Hayward off there hands so they can keep Bridges? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe but good luck moving that contract to anyone else. 15 alone probably isn’t enough to take back that contract unless Weaver Is all in on Ivey and has something worked out to move up to 4 with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends how they fill out the rest of the roster. But they will not be an easy out with Grant/OG on the wings. They will give them the length they have been badly missing. Again though, Lillard looked bad in the Olympics and didn't look any better during the season so that needs to change first. He will have had plenty of time to get healthy and get back to the killer he was before the injury. The West doesn't really have juggernauts where you can count Portland out from winning a series or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie man Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Can someone explain to me why the pistons wanted to trade Grant? Was it they didn’t want to pay him because it’s too soon in their rebuild or did they not think he could play with Cade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
