OTOH, they might be stuck with BOTH of those contracts.

You forgot another 1st . Clippers already used their favour with Portland with powell trade..

They would have to give me a pick just to take that contract.

I agree. Just saying if I’m Cronin I’d be asking for two firsts

Both would be hard but one is possible. Which should be Grant

@@CyroAsseo you gotta look at the reality, teams are set basically, and will go into training camp and roll with what they got until their record tells them they have to make changes. very rarely do you see trades from now till december because of this. i dont see any trades in the nba happening till december. if teams that are contenders are doing well, they less likely to do anything early on to mess up their chemistry.

@@CyroAsseo I agree grant would be a dream fit

​@@ZimmFor3who would you guys give up??? Simmons makes 25+ mil and grant makes 30+😂😂😂😂

great point, I kinda alluded to that when I was saying problem is both teams rebuilding so Nets are interested in giving up picks

@@CyroAsseo if Portland wanted to trade simons for second round picks he would’ve been traded years ago 😂

@@MikeJones-js5bt Yes, that's why they are stuck with him for the moment.

@@edwardkane8296 I 1000% agree

Or start Daniel Theis

You sound stupid

Lmao 😂Messi a starter idk what you smoking it you way up there

I agree. Valid points. Collins and Walker is better than Clarkson and Walker. I just assumed they wanted help with guard play with a cheaper over Collins larger contract and getting two frontcourt pieces instead 1 backcourt and 1 frontcourt player

It has to be Clarkson and at least one first if not both of them. B.i is not fraud

@@lionelsimmons4704 well then they can keep Bi and have no option for a starting quality center and be logjamed with Ingram/Jones//Murphy then lose BI for nothing when Utah can just sign him outright in 2025....

@CyroAsseo Pels have McCullom and Hawkins as guard depth. Clarkson is redundant with CJ. Collins, Kessler are the targets, or a 3rd team can be brought in (Poeltl/ Raptors)

@@DLe-kf8tp I agree with yall, i think it is gonna be a Collins/Walker package, it makes sense and it clears the log jam at the wing

Yeah I was told by a source, he was given the ultimatum, either be the owner's son or play exec and have a chance to be fired like everyone else....

Why would the Lakers trade for a guy who had one of the worst contract. And as I remember, Is Detroit traded grant to Blazers for only one pick. Your blazers is crazy to be honest

@@streettoughfighting Exactly, Lakers fans stay delusional🤦🏾. Blazers also have zero interest in any of the players Lakers are trying to include in a deal, imagine trying to short-change on picks AND also dump players on the Blazers that the Blazers have zero interest in smh... Also, Duop Reath is not just a throw-in in a deal either, I'd rather have him over anybody the Lakers would be willing to trade. Only player I can see beneficial to the Blazers from the Lakers that could warrant just a single 1st rd pick for Grant is Max Christie. Aside from that, even talking about only including a single 1st rd pick is 100% delusional imo.

I'd take Reaves and a first round pick

@@rileymcphee9429 if you're referring to the Spurs as one of those players, there's two things. Spurs historically just don't really make trades like that, they still do every once in a while, but out of all 30 teams, Spurs factually trade the least in the past 25 years. Second, I don't personally see a single person listed that the Spurs would actually want. Simons imo would be the most likely but definitely very unlikely. I feel like if the Spurs were to be involved in a trade, it'd be more so to make a trade happen, where they are taking on a contract and get some type of asset in return, ala basically every move they have made since getting Wemby.

@@rileymcphee9429 who knows though I could definitely be wrong, I'm not an expert lol, and even if I was, experts are wrong all the time. I'm just talking about Spurs historically, and also Spurs since they've acquired Wemby.

@Mrdonjuliothewicked if Spurs got involved, I could see some trade where Blazers send Simons to them and Grant to Lakers, and get back 3 firsts, 1-2 seconds, and some bad contracts both teams want to unload. I see that as a win-win for all three.

Tbf, his contact looks better every year

@@rileymcphee9429 yes but that's also quite literally every single contract ever in NBA history that is heavy, whether it goes down, up, or stays plateaued lol.

yea lakers want to dump Gabe, his contract is 100 times worse than Grant. at least Grant is a very very productive player, playing on both ends of the floor and consistently great 3point shooter. tell me players averaging over 40% from 3 on a high volume, are over 6'8" and are good defenders (and compare their contracts with Grant).

Don't worry we do.

i agree with that, most def or its a straight up swap like caruso/giddey thats why i said maybe a herro/grant swap

@CyroAsseo yeh , but idk why they would do a 1 for 1 unless it's a really good young player, cuz I'm pretty sure there in the Flagg sweepstakes for next year , they don't wanna win to much. Unless they are not trying for Flagg.

@@kobiiboksireficul I agree, I was just stating that from a value standpoint, Herro and Jerami probably similar value

What about What about Lakers receive: Jerami Grant, Jevon Carter, Duop Reath and the bulls 2029 second round pick Blazers receive: Lonzo Ball, Nikola Vucevic, Dalton Knecht, their own first round pick back from the Bulls, the Bulls 2028 First round pick, the Lakers 2029 First round pick Bulls receive: D’Angelo Russell, Rui Hachimura and Robert Williams III

@@CyroAsseo why would portland want herro.. they have scoot and sharpe

LMAOOO

Suns have some major possibly trade chips with Greyson Allen, Royce O’Neal and Josh Okogie. Possibly even Nurkic as well. Beal would be the ultimate guy to trade but no takers with his contract and the no trade clause.

​​@@keeparizonawild156 Why would they trade Grayson? That makes zero sense. Nurkic, Okogie and Royce, sure, but not Grayson.

@@smoothsavage2870 because he’s really good and the Suns might need to parlay their excess of outside shooting for some bigger defensive players

Yeah but the wizards still suck
