Thanks for doing that homework. I just don't see spending $20m on Grant as a good use of resources for those teams, who I view as needing top end talent more than valuable role players. Maybe the Magic or Thunder, who are a little ahead of the others on the talent acquisition path. I guess Pacers too if they think Mathurin/Turner/Haliburton is a nucleus.
Yea, I've been a Granite stan for years and I don't see $20M/yr either. Neither did Brad/Zarren this summer.
He's been getting starter minutes and scoring 8.6ppg. It's tough to get paid without POINTZ
Does anyone think Grant has a higher standing than Marcus Smart had when he hit RFA?
Since Brad took over he
1. Immediately extended Marcus Smart
2. Extended Rob Williams
3. Gtd Horford before the playoffs last year. Then gave him a 2yr extension recently
4. Gave Hauser a 3yr deal
5. Gave Luke Kornet a 2yr deal
6. Traded for Derrick White who had 3.5yrs left on his deal
7. Traded for Malcolm Brogdon who had 3yrs left on his deal
8. Signed Gallinari to a 2yr deal
9. Recently traded for Muscala who has 1.5yrs left
Brad/Zarren clearly value continuity. I'm not questioning them on this, they've got Grant's RFA figured out.
