Well you need to plan for both outcomes.

I mean he did average 20.7 PTS (per36) with a 60.6% TS% when he was on a team with a #1 option (Lillard). As a comparison, Monk averaged 21.3 PTS (per36) with a 56.4% TS%. You could do a lot worse than Grant as a #2 scoring option, but we also have the added luxury of having a 3rd go-to scorer...

The interesting thing is that if he shot 80% from the line this season (6.2% points higher), it would have only added another 26 points for the entire season and would have only increased his TS% from 56.7% to 57.4%. Instead of improving his FT% 6.2% points, he could improve his 2P% only 1.4%...

Just because he’s injury prone doesn’t mean he’s not an effective player. Besides, we’d still have Fox, Ellis, Mitchell, and Jones to backfill guard minutes if Brogdon is out. As for Grant, his team’s highest win total in the last 4 years was 33 wins. And a lot of those teams were in the 20s...

If Monk ends up walking, we could tweak that deal to be something like… Jerami Grant Malcolm Brogdon for Harrison Barnes Kevin Huerter Sasha Vezenkov Chris Duarte #13 Brogdon’s ball handling, passing, and playmaking would be a great replacement if Monk walks. He’s also a solid scorer and...

Again, the “GSW not wanting to trade with us at all” angle is fair but I have Wiggins trade value below Grant so I definitely think we have the assets to trade for both. But of course it takes two to tango.

Considering how weak this draft is at the top, I feel like getting an early 2nd back really helps to balance that trade. We get the best player in the trade while still getting a good shot at drafting a cost controlled rotational player (which will definitely come in handy if we have Fox, Monk...

Why not both iso scoring and length? ;) *cough* Grant *cough*

That sounds less like we don’t have the assets to trade for both and more like you think GSW wouldn’t be willing to trade Wiggins to us. The latter part might be true, but in a vacuum, the assets we have should be enough to get it done if GSW was willing.

I’d love to sign Edwards to like a $2-$3 mil per year deal over 3 years with maybe a team option the last year. That has the potential to become a favorable contract for us…similar to Ellis.

Jerami Grant #33 for Kevin Huerter Sasha Vezenkov Chris Duarte #13 If we can resign Monk, I really like our rotation after that trade… Fox (34) / Mitchell (10) / Monk (4) Ellis (24) / Monk (24) Murray (30) / Barnes (18) Grant (30) / Barnes (6) / Lyles (12) Sabonis (34) / Len (8) / Lyles...

How much value do you think Wiggins and Grant hold? Their contracts is what makes them gettable from an asset perspective IMO.

Considering we just went 0-6 against the Pelicans length this season, maybe we should just trade for both Wiggins and Grant and put out a starting lineup of Fox-Wiggins-Murray-Grant-Sabonis…

Looks like we’re right on track for our point differential for the series…
