    Tbh, never thought the grant trade would happen. Felt like bargaining tactics on klutchs end

  2. bringbackthesonics21

    This is all part of the negotiation

    They’re the ones with hopes and dreams this season, not us.

  4. Mister_Mangina

    What Woj said is that they aren’t going to use their picks to dump salary, which seems obvious, and there isn’t a dramatic deal in the works for a “third star”

    Locked into mediocrity until Lebron retires if they are over the second apron. They aren’t going to win in the competitive west as they stand and are paying a ton of money. Won’t go all in on lebron and won’t rebuild. Have fun lakers!

    That’s fine. I love Jerami. He’s a good vet to have and we can sit on him some more.

    Now that we have some good defenders next to him, his own defense should step up a bit and be a more attractive trade piece.

    Not surprising. They know this is LeBrons last contract and that AD is over 30. They’re going to start rebuilding in a few years and they’ll want their own picks when they do

    Cronin keeps things pretty quiet. If Grant gets traded, the trade announcement may be the first any of us hear about it.

    I’m ok waiting until the trade deadline, though. The return might be better then.

  9. Allow me to introduce Jerami “Big Trade” Grant

    Play in bound Lakers once again. Big trade? Most of the big pieces are traded or signed elsewhere. Posturing…

  11. Damezang

    We have absolutely no reason to rush to trade Grant to the Lakers or anyplace for that matter, especially for peanuts. Fuck the Lakers

  12. Bieberkinz

    I’m chill with it, make a move when a solid player/value comes around, we ain’t really desperate.

  13. RetartaredFish

    Really not that intrigued by the Lakers assets anyways.

    So obviously don’t trade Grant or Ant unless the return is good but what is the plan for next year? 

    Will Ant, Grant and Ayton sit for large periods of time during the season? Those 3 are better than the personnel a lot of competing have.

    The Lakers don’t want to blow their load on Jerami. What a shocker.

  16. bowlofgranola

    That’s fine. Grant doesn’t get in the way of Scoot or Shae. Ant does. Most important to move him.
