I’m told not to expect any last minute deals for the Lakers. Despite several efforts, they were unable to get anything done before the deadline. This is their team.

Ummmm the kings may really have a better roster than the Lakers top to bottom

I don’t mind. Just figured they would move him since his minutes are going to go way down. I wasn’t looking to unload him for trade exceptions or second round picks or anything. He’s way better than that. You can’t do much better for a backup center.

Jerami Grant remains with the Detroit Pistons as NBA trade deadline ends. Grant and the Pistons have comfortability with each other moving forward.

Fair enough, if they win a chip it will all be worth it. That incoming 60 million dollar deal stings though.
but I bet we could have traded him for a large expiring and seconds!
god it's so nice having a real GM. I know it took a while but dude was playing chess after years of the Maloofs (I really am going to give Petrie credit as having been undercut from about 2005 on), those two dumbheads and Vlade playing checkers.

I do agree yea he’s been in a slump eye injury then protocol for covid and then another eye injury so I’m good with this really
Jerami Grant is comfortable as a Piston.
The Pistons are comfortable with Jerami Grant as a Piston.
I am comfortable with Jerami Grant as a Piston.
I'm glad it worked out for all of us.

No deal for the Lakers, source tells ESPN. THey'll focus on the buyout market.

How comfortability are Coach Bagley and Jerami Grant going to be?

The picks are my thing. There is nothing a mid 1st round pick if this does work out is going to do for this team. I think it's value will be less on draft night than today. I guess options are still open on draft night. In the end the G rotation is back intact, they upgraded Metu, and got a host of long defense oriented wings. Can't complain.

So the Rockets exited the NBA Trade Deadline with both Eric Gordon and Christian Wood still on the roster, no additional draft picks or young players, and ended with an admission that their big offseason signing was a mistake.

Yeah, that combo will be either/or. Harden pouts and Embiid wants to choke his teammates. This could be entertaining, lol.

Pistons goofed. They didn't want to sell low on him but the time to even move him is running out. They got Marvin anyway but they need to look at getting more draft assets.

League source confirms the Kings are done for the day. They worked all the way up to the deadline, but there will be no more trades today. Richaun Holmes is staying in Sacramento. https://t.co/lNsEqMKZFs

Not to mention they continued the trend of the cursed #2 pick, passing on Mobley
There's room for Sabonis/Holmes to get some run together too. Sabonis just spent his last 3 seasons next to another big, so there's obvious comfort there.
I don't really think a buyout of Len makes sense, especially since he's got another guaranteed year. I would guess that barring another move we haven't heard of yet, Woodard and Ramsey are out.

A lot of the sellers saw how low players were going for and got gun-shy.

The Hali trade was obviously tough on him. But he’s a great player on a great contract. As it’s shaping up, we might be DEEP for a playoff run

Decisions are still to be made, but the Kings trade season is done, I’m told.

Except turner stood at the 3pt line the entire time. I like Holmes and the deals that were made, I'm cool with him staying and maybe he can be thrown into a bigger deal in the off-season

If it's true HOU/Stone had a 1st on the table for Gordon though, they botched this.

Yeah, but that big he was with specialized in shooting 3's. And was also a KANGZ level combo where every year it was clear running 2 C's was a mistake. I guess they could give it a try but Sabonis/Holmes/Fox is not very complimentary. No better backup than Holmes probably though.
Wasn't moving Wall supposed to be their priority who the heck was their big signing? They are in full tank & rebuild mode with Detroit and OKC honestly who gives a f about houston?
Yeah he's an exceptionally moveable contract and should have a market in the off-season. I would have been significantly more pissed if they traded him for a package akin to that Trez contract.
