“If the Lakers pursue Jerami Grant, I think a trade offer would most likely revolve around Rui Hachimura, Gabe Vincent, Cam Reddish, and a 2029 first-round pick.” Per Jake Weinbach on X

Deni and Rui reunited would be my favorite
So two players we don’t want (one that we already had and didn’t want to give a minimum to) and that we’d have to probably cut two current players to absorb. That’s a total non-starter. Hachimura ia not that enticing either. Hard pass.
As a Portland fan, I approve this message.
I’d do that if 1st was completely unprotected and they included a swap in ‘28 or ‘30
Seems dumb. We have to trade grant, but we need picks. Not washed up role players.
So who would be the two players we’d cut to make this trash happen?
If I’m the Trail Blazers, I decline, respectfully of course.
Danny Marang said on the radio that there was a deal in place for Rui and 2 firsts for JG and Rob Pelinka decided last minute that the price was too steep. Portland has no immediate need to move Grant, he isn’t taking minutes from anybody that we need to clear runway for, and he is under contract for another 4 years. If the lakers want him, they’re gonna have to give up two first round picks to get him.
An unprotected 2029 Lakers pick has the potential to be a pretty damn good pick, however everything we have heard from our local guys and other reporters is Cronin is demanding 2 firsts for JG, not one.
On the flip side, it looks like the Lakers wont do 2 firsts, and the trade offer would look something like what Weinbach said here.
Interesting situation. We’ll see what happens. At the end of the day Cronin is doing the right thing. We do have the leverage. Why not be patient and see if you can extract great value for JG.
Try again
Literally get fucked
Who would want that
Seems fair. Maybe add in Timelord to try and get another first.
Don’t do it unless we get two firsts, nothing else matters.
2 picks
Imagine getting Cam Reddish back
If they can squeeze an unprotected pick and pick swap, I don’t see why they wouldn’t go for it .
The Lakers are the kind of organization that would fuck a team up the ass, and not even have the common courtesy to offer them a reach around!
A first and filler seems fair value wise, especially those juicy laker picks. Grant’s contract is big so any hypothetical trade will involve salary filler, we don’t need to be in love with the players coming back. Taking on guys like that is part of successful rebuilds like what OKC just did
I’m hoping the main holdup is the 30-day trade restriction on Knecht. That should be up Friday I think?
No thanks. 1 unprotected first round pick, one unprotected swap, and Rui and Vincent. Or they can get bent.
Cam reddish? Dude is straight garbage!
No thanks. I have literally no interest in any of those players. I’d rather have the luxury of having a real NBA player playing next to our younguns to help them develop.
A pick and a swap, at least one of them unprotected and we can talk. For one first though, I’d rather just keep Grant.
