Trade & FA 2024-25:

[Chicagojk]

I like Grant here.  I suspect it would be THJ + Green + OMax with Green going to a third team for an asset.  They don’t need more guards and probably want to get off some salary.  We’d probably have to add 2025 too.  I suddenly feel much less young that I did before such a trade

Grant replaces DJJ and you’ve really only given up the Green/THJ minutes from last year’s rotation.  Klutch is happy.  They move Grant to a winner and open up a role for Hardy that should get him paid.

Grant is on my watch list.  I am just not sure a Grant/PJ wing position can guard the elite scorers at the 1,2 and 3.   I would prefer to wait to see if we can keep DJJ first.    That makes things tricky because Hardaway would probably need to be moved to retain DJJ.  I don't think Dallas would move Omax though.  Would put a pick in there.   Young talent for the Mavs is going to be so valuable.   I don't think they can lose him in this type of trade.   Whether he makes it or not as a player is a different story.
