One main reason Jerami Grant didn’t come to an extension agreement with Portland prior to free agency was the chance to get that additional, fifth year, sources said. What may amount to the difference of $30 million. – 6:25 PM

It was the price of doing business. But I wouldn’t want to be the one paying a 34-year-old Jerami Grant somewhere in the region of $40 million. – 6:25 PM

Portland now has $122.7M in salary ($119.4M guaranteed) but are over the salary cap because of the Jerami Grant and Mattise Thybulle free agent holds. – 12:33 PM

Jerami is unrestricted, Matisse/Badji/John Jr. are restricted and the rest are still TBD (though probably not for long) bit.ly/3CUaIRA – 7:32 PM

A similar scenario with Jerami Grant, with the Lakers sitting at (10/1), but quite a few teams ahead of them, via @betonline_ag – Pacers, Kings, Raptors, Mavs, Thunder and Pistons pic.twitter.com/r8FARs7UmR – 3:41 PM

What would want the Basketball Gods to give to the Kings during free agency?
@momoragan said Jerami Grant.

Kinda funny how whenever the Lakers play the Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals, they target their glue guy in the following offseason. In 2020, there were all of those rumors about the Lakers targeting Jerami Grant. Now it’s Bruce Brown. – 6:44 PM

Clutch Points: “I think you’ll see something of a flood of top players in this free agent market returning to their teams very quickly… Draymond Green in Golden State, Jerami Grant in Portland.” @wojespn on what to expect when free agency opens up 🗣 pic.twitter.com/yUupoWLJCb -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / June 30, 2023
For all the speculation surrounding the Portland Trail Blazers — Monday’s meeting between general manager Joe Cronin, Damian Lillard and his agent, Aaron Goodwin, only added to the noise — there’s been little chatter of substantive movement for the Blazers outside of Portland’s well-known intention to re-sign versatile forward Jerami Grant. -via Yahoo! Sports / June 28, 2023
So, what would it take to convince Lillard that Portland is still the place to be for the rest of his NBA days? Here’s one solution that is known to be a dream scenario from Lillard’s vantage point: Re-sign forward Jerami Grant and add four-time All-Star/four-time champion Draymond Green in free agency. -via The Athletic / June 26, 2023
