Sign-and-trade involving Jerami Grant possible?
Aaron J. Fentress: Regarding Jerami Grant: A source told me two days ago that Lillard leaving would not necessarily signal a complete rebuild and that keeping Grant would remain in play. However, Grant made it clear that he wants to win. A sign-and-trade of Grant could make the most sense.

My favorite part about Damian Lillard’s trade request is that he made it after the Blazers committed $160M to Jerami Grant. – 12:27 PM

To those asking:
No, the Jerami Grant contract is technically not final, but yes, the Blazers are going to give it to him anyway.
Teams don’t rescind agreements in the moratorium period. It would ruin their league-wide credibility. No team would cross Rich Paul like that. – 12:14 PM

Portland made such a big deal about trying to upgrade in free agency. What did they even try to do apart from resign Jerami Grant? It’s almost like they wanted to force Dame to ask out to win the PR battle – 12:10 PM

I guess what I’m wondering is… what did the Blazers think was going to happen when they literally only signed Jerami Grant on Day 1 of free agency?
Like, they had to have an inkling that this was coming. Why not just trade him during the week? – 12:10 PM

New: Hitting free agency after being recruited by Damian Lillard, at the exact moment the Blazers are attempting to keep Lillard from requesting a trade, is a hell of a lot of leverage for Jerami Grant.

In terms of average annual value, Jerami Grant is now the 12th-highest paid forward in the NBA.
I… don’t think this is a group of players Grant compares favorably to.
I also can’t say I agree with the wisdom of giving a 29-year-old a five-year deal when no one else could. pic.twitter.com/WKO7aDq22V – 11:34 PM

So far in #NBAFreeAgency…
Most spectacular move: Jerami Grant 5-year/$160M to Blazers
Most value for money move: Kyle Kuzma 4-year/$102M to Wizards or Bruce Brown 2-year/$45M to Pacers.
Most underrated move: Gabe Vincent 3-year/$33M to Lakers. – 7:53 PM

Jerami Grant, Aaron Gordon, and now Bruce Brown all broke out in DEN as extremely high value role players.
It’s a credit to each of the players first and foremost. But I also don’t think it’s a coincidence that good role players shine bright in DEN given their style of play. – 7:43 PM

Financially speaking, Jerami Grant’s decision to pick Detroit over Denver in 2020 is looking absolutely genius.
Aaron Gordon was acquired to replace Grant. Gordon’s current deal is four years, $86 million. Grant just got nearly twice that.
Grant got his bag. – 6:41 PM
