I feel like they will talk themselves into Lavine.
It seems like Lakers are out of the trade market completely. We will hold Grant until the deadline or next off-season.
Of course it doesn’t force them to do anything. Still not sure what we would even want from the L*kers anyways, and it would suck to have to root against Jerami.
Jerami Grant, age 33, key player in blazers western conference finals win.
Fox/Hueter/DeRozan/Murray/Sabonis
Unless Carter is ready right away, this lineup gonna score 125 points a game and give up 124 lol.
I’m not saying Grant is untouchable. But he is a native-born Portlander and a bona fide 3&D wing shooting over 40% from deep, 81.7% from the line on 5.8 FTA/G, and averaging 21 points. We don’t really have anyone remotely close to him that can step in.
There won’t be any pressure to move him until before the ’26-’27 season, which is the final year of his contract (not counting his player option).
That gives us ample time to find his replacement, and means there is no reason Cronin should trade him unless we’re getting an offer we absolutely cannot refuse. Hachimura and a couple of picks just ain’t it.
