If Jerami were a better team player, I'd be more inclined to keep him. But I don't think he even wants to be here.
If I were him, I wouldn't want to be here either. He's a 30yo on a team in the beginning of a rebuild.
@@LunaticTheCat That seems to be a common sentiment among NBA players, but I think it's kind of a lame mentality. How about trying to make the team you're ON successful?
@@rivermorrison8383 That's like trying to help your friend quit the drug they're addicted to while they're actively trying to get addicted to new ones
@@georgeroth3042 Hmm, not sure what that means. I'm mostly thinking about the psychological effect of being on a really bad team. If younger players are coming up on a team that was competitive, I think that's good for their development overall.
If they are surrounded by players who just want to "get their numbers" then that's not helpful.
@rivermorrison8383 I'm speaking from jerami grant's perspective not the team's perspective. Players have very little incentive to try when the org is purposely trying to undermine their efforts
Agreed. Games like tn may feel good as a fan bc we won and he played solid but he takes away from many things on this rebuilding team and he can very easily give us some good value by trading him. Add brogdon in there
So glad you made the OKC comparison. We need to copy what they did in terms of asset and roster management. All the fans who are letting themselves be gaslighted by certain individuals saying "you dont want a roster without any veterans" are just letting themselves be fooled. Last I checked Jerami Grant was playing while we got blown out by 62 points and he had 9 pts on 4-10 shooting with the third worst +/- of -40!!! We need veterans my ass!
I want Jerami's ass out of here just on the simple fact alone of how he refuses to help on rebounds. Its absolutely pathetic and a disgrace to the game and his position for him to have such god aweful rebounding numbers. With Jerami Grant playing I like to refer to his position while he is checked into the game as the Pathetic Forward position.
Everyone needs to watch this. The amount of people who dont understand why we should trade JG is concerning. The fact that you even need to explain the concept of a timeline is INSANITY. This is common sense shit.
Amen!
I think Grant will age well since he didn’t play much in his early years. With that said trade him to the kings
WRONG... U guys have good takes & perspectives 'sometimes', but your also
wrong sometimes. & 'want' things short term, that will HURT the team long term,
IF u actually want to WIN anytime soon!!! ;
Soon as u post this J.G. & Ant single handedly went out & WON that game against N.J.! ;
For his 'talent level & age' he's on a friendly contract!!!
he could' be a $40 - $50m guy on a different team!!!
We NEED guys like Jeremy,.. Ant,. Reathe,. (Vets) going into next year
who provide solid leadership & "buckets" in close games, when u need them! ;
If Shae,.. Scoot,.. Murray,.. Rupert,.. take a HUGE Leap over the summer
we CAN be a Legit Team again next year!!!
But if u trade away ALLL the Vets,.. we're going to STINK & not have the BALANCE
U guys preached we needed in the past! ; )
Brogden to Lakers for MoBamba & Rui , is the only win win trade I see out there
that meets teams 'Needs'!!!
PAINT Protection is what we NEED
and unless there's P's out there w/ THAT on their skill set,
trades for "picks" is meaningless,.. when the draft isn't that strong for 2 - 3 yrs out!
Dame only shine under the greek. He couldn't "save" this team, anymore than he can deliver the Bucks
Cavs just stomped their guts out. No greek
Blazers get eaten on the regular, as I see zero half court offense = where gaps are made/big leads are blown.
Plug in ANY 'superstar' to a shitty broken system, it won't matter. I don't see talent as their biggest problem
I hear the trade/value/timeline point, but... If you don't fix the 'system', you're only wasting your time moving pieces imo
For example: Clippers had SGA, Suns had bridges, etc.. rotting on the bench. Exploded in a different system. Same players
Grant sucks. Trade him. Dumbest signing in last five years
Love JG, good dude. That said, I 100% agree with you.
first things first, brogdon needs to go asap...
Grant potentially last minute trade for a desperate team facing injuries
I believe in the Blazers, man.
Very good video.
Put Jerami at the 3 and get a real 4 with Brogdans trade. Jerami’s lack of rebounds won’t be as important at the 3. Getting someone with his ability to get his own shot is not easy to replace and certainly won’t happen with a 19 year old. I think you have a lot of good points and agree that it probably gives us the best chance at a ring…eventually but Life’s too short to have zero chance of winning for a whole year or 3. give us a chance at least. Even if he does drop off some, he’d still make an excellent asset off the bench.
Losing his ability to create doesn't matter because they're years away from winning. You say life's too short but they're not built to win anytime soon and getting patient and trying to make a play-in in the next couple years would likely come at the expense of maximizing a contender down the road. Its not worth it.
@@BlazersUprise you’re probably right but I’m more of a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush kind of guy. I just want to enjoy watching games again.
He takes too many shots. He needs to go. SCOOT, ANT, AND SHARPE NEED THOS SHOTS.
Well, lakers Austin Reaves, is 25
And jalen hood Schifino, is 20,
Max Christie 20. Lakers, need.an
Expirience player lime jerami
Grant.
Here is a very reasonable trade which make sense for both teams. This is what I propose:
Dallas sends Richaun Holmes (C), Maxi Kleber (PF), Grant Williams (combo Forward) plus Dallas' 2027 First Round Pick in exchange for
Portland Jerami Grant (PF) and Robert Williams III (PF). The salaries work out on the NBA Trade Machine.
This trade works for Dallas for the following Reasons:
1. Portland is a terrible team except for their Power Forwards. They also have a good starting center. This duo will solidify the Power Forward position into top tier status for Power Forwards.
2. At worst, Jerami Grant is a very good to great Power Forward. He makes the trade worth it by himself. If Robert Williams III recovers from his injuries (a possibility but not this year), the Mavericks will have an Elite Power Forward. This duo can contend for any Western Conference All Star team every year.
3. Richaun Holmes and Grant Williams have not worked out in Dallas so their salaries are now liabilities. Better to trade them. Dallas is in win now mode. Portland is not.
4. The 2027 First Round pick is unlikely to fetch us any players that will improve the Mavericks. With Jerami Grant (PF) and Robert Williams III (PF), Dallas finally gets our third and (possibly) fourth star. This trade will make Dallas a contender!
This trade works for Portland for the following reasons:
1. Portland needs to get really bad so the team can get franchise players. Trading away those two Power Forwards will do just that. Also, this trade would eliminate the risk of Robert Williams III never working out and becoming one of the long line of players who never amount to anything in Portland. Let Dallas take the risk. Robert Williams III is not playing this year anyway.
2. Dallas' 2027 can be packaged with players and other picks to move up in the draft. The Dallas players are just salary fillers. If any of them blossom in Portland, that is a bonus for Portland. Please note the following about each of these players -
*Richaun Holmes (C) averaged a double Points and double rebounds during most of his career in Sacramento. He was relegated to the bench because of a personality conflict with the coach. I believe Richaun really can revive his career with the right situation. He just needs a change of scenery. Even now, Richaun has great stats for a center on a per minute basis.
*Grant Williams (combo Forward) is not a starter but he would be a great member in a rotation. When he came to Dallas, he was thrown into the starting line-up. Big Mistake. Grant is way better coming off the bench. He can really blossom in Portland. I think he would be a great glue guy. A player who really helps a team to win by doing the little things but it just does not show up in the stats.
*Maxi Kleber (PF) is a fan favorite. I only put him in the trade to make the money work. Nevertheless, he is a good defender, decent rebounder and a complete professional. Moreover, Maxi is a Positive locker room presence. Team chemistry always starts in the locker room.
Conclusion - All three players can thrive in Portland. None of them are junk. I would not be surprised if one or two of these players blossom for the Trailblazers especially Richaun.
3. Jerami Grant (PF) and Robert Williams III (PF) talents are wasting away in Portland and they will likely finish their careers before Portland can achieve contention. These two player do not fit Portland's time line. The Trailblazers are holding a fire sale right now so Dallas needs to help them. This trade would be a win-win for both teams.
4. One final note: If you trade away your starting center then put Richaun in the starting lineup. One of two things will happen. Either, Richaun blossoms back into his former self in which case, you can trade him also for first rounders or Richaun crumbles. In the latter case, Portland parts company with him at the end of the season thereby opening up cap space. In other words, Portland can follow the Oklahoma City blueprint. It seemed to have worked for the Thunder.
I can see that but id rather trade grant for lumina so he could develop with the young core + salary Filler
That thumbnail is so ominous
Jerami Grant, needs to go to the
Lakers. RUI ACHIMURA, is a
Power forward. His 25. But
The lakers are on west? .
With his contract do blazers fans think Portland would have to include assets to trade Grant? Thybulle maybe?
Let’s keep his $28M salary to hopefully get to the Play In and swept by Denver. Yayyyyy! Miopic!
He played well last night but the energy and effort just isn’t there on a nightly basis. Every time Jabari checks in for him our defense and rebounding is so much better
which is why we need to ironically keep him. jabari's development is dependant on having grant to go up against in the gym
Trade Jerami or Brogdon for Huston 1 first 2024 Nets top 10 + Com Whitmore + expiring.
Young players don't always pan out. You can end up being OKC but on the flip side, you can end up like Houston the past 2 years.
The most frustrating player on the Blazers, I love his personality but the offense dies whenever he gets the ball and takes a long 2.
But we all know with these clowns in the FO that we'll trade Grant for 16 second round picks over the next 10 years
Every time I say Blazers will be a dynasty, it's a guarantee. I said it. Watch later
Cavs wan't to win now. Grant for E. Mobley?
Grant is a punching bag. We get it. And aside from one try hard performance against his former mates the guy has been unimpressive without cause.
But losing Grant isnt the final piece to the blazer puzzle obviously, and isnt even the first piece. Besides not having to be reminded of a bad re-signing decision whats the point in trading him? Not likely to get much return.
A punching bag? He has strengths and weaknesses. He's a good player though. Wanting to trade him is more about team situation and trying to build towards a contender more than anything. And you're not "losing" Grant if you get stuff back for him. They should be able to get back a decent return for him.
@@BlazersUprise if they do trade him Cronin needs to channel some Moneyball... Jeramy you're a good ball player
Where do you think grant can be traded to?
Please trade him to the mavs bro we need him😂
Ill trade Ant before ill trade Jerami
Trade him if we get a fair haul back.
Might as well.
I couldn’t agree more
Trade grant now right now
scoots gonna bust
Yup I hope we trade grant yesterday
the young guys aren't ready. Jerami has to stick around and coach them up. That was supposed to be Lillard's job, but Dame politely declined, and now he's sticking logo game winners in Milwaukee.
It's Jerami's job to coach, not the coaches? What is Jerami teaching them?
how about... basketball stuff that the beer bellied Blazer coaches can't possibly show them?
@@metal--babble346 Huh? What do you think coaching is? Coaching and playing are two different things.
Oh no lol
Oh yes lol
They just gave him a massive overpay in the summer. No one is going to want him. He's on superstar money. 120 mill for 4 years with a 36 million player option for a fifth and he's basically 30.
We need to fire croncey, hire Chris Quinn Heat assistant coach, hire a good GM. Trade Grant, I love Brogdon but we need to trade him too, he deserves better. Trade Ayton for expiring contracts and picks. Trade Thybulle if he will let us for a second rd pick. Clear all the cap space so we can keep Sharpe, Ant, Scoot, Camara for 5+ years. Will the Blazers do this? No, for some reason the Allen's like being mediocre
100% agree here, overpaying on an bad contract that is underdelivering doesnt do anything for the young guys development. Especially when rupert (g-league player) sets more screens and rebounds more in 15minutes off play than jerami in 39 minutes🤯
If I were GM, I’d take guys with a motor over someone who has potential but lacks the killer instinct. Now if you can get both…that’s ideal. At least the fans would know our team competes. This last road trip was embarrassing!
Third worst minus plus aggregate in NBA this season. Poole and Kuzma are the worst
trade Grant for a 1st round pick and a legit young power forward. tired of undersized 4's
I dont understand wanting to keep him at this point when hes not playn good in anyway. I want him gone more than brogdon
Bye bye jerami
the problem is you're only thinking about game performance and forgetting to think about the value grant has in developing jabari walker these young players need players like brogdon and grant. its not showing the dividends right now but it will in the future.
What is Grant teaching Jabari Walker exactly? Shouldn't we have coaches that can teach these hypothetical things?
Time and time again, this FO has failed to maximize its assets
Why the hell did they give him that huge contract, he's an average player, not a star
Get him out of here. Yesterday.
Crazy idea i just had. Jerimi grant and deandre ayton for lauri markkanen.
I like Lauri but the money doesn't work, I think Utah's pretty happy with Kessler at center too.
Kessler doesnt even start @@BlazersUprise
He has the 3rd worst plus minus in the league and his contract is not cheap dout any contender would want him tbh
I disagree. Already reports of playoff teams reaching out to try and trade for him. And it only takes one team to offer a good package out of many.
Blazers get : Tobias Harris, Jaden Springer, Robert Covington PHI Unprotected 1st Rd Pick 2024, 2026 HOU Unprotected 1st Rd Pick
Sixers get: Jeremi Grant, Malcolm Brogdan.
Blazers get all their cap space back, two future 1st and Jaden Springer
Great video!📉Grant needs to go 🫡
