Trade & FA 2024-25:

[From Dirk to SCREW YOU Nico]

Jerami Grant has been a big talk recently but I can't get over this glaring issue: Availability.

Grant since leaving Denver:
54 GP
47 GP
63 GP
54 GP
Avg. 54.5 GP/yr

Porzingis the last 4 years:
43 GP
51 GP
65 GP
57 GP
Avg. 54.0 GP/yr


Grant next 4 years:
Age 30 due 29.8M
Age 31 due 32.0M
Age 32 due 34.2M
Age 33 due 36.4M
Total 4 yrs - 132.4M


I added KP for comparison. I think Grant is an okay offensive player, even if the only thing he does above league average is shoot the 3 ball. I just don't think it's a fit with the current roster construction nor do I think it's worth giving up future picks, and I can't get over the lack of availability...

WOW, i had no idea he was unavailable that often.  18 games missed in his most available year of the last four. 

I wondered what a normal season was like, since players often rest here and there, so i checked on a few Mavs/recent Mavs that i felt didn't miss many, if any, games for injury.

Games played in 2023-2024
Luka - 70 
PJ - 73
Gafford - 74
DJJ - 74

Injured at times during the year:
Kyrie - 58
Lively - 55
