The funny thing about Grant is that every year he seems slightly more complacent. I got to the point where I had to ask myself if I was actually wanting the JG of 5-6 years ago or am I imagining all this. I'm really not sure because I don't watch him much anymore, but it sort of feels like he's just punching a ticket every game. I don't see much emotion from him and he seems content on being with mediocre teams. Someone could probably prove me wrong with stats, but that's the way it feels.

I mean, is he more complacent each year, or is he just another year removed from the opportunity to play somewhere that matters? Is he that different of a player than he was in Denver, or do we just not notice him anymore because he's in Portland? He is way overpaid, and the experiment to see if he could elevate to become the kind of go-to-guy who can command that salary (and have it lead to winning) is officially a failure, but it's not his fault Portland believed he could do it, nor was it wrong for him to believe in himself (I don't think). Winning in the NBA is hard. I don't think failing equates to not trying. 

It's a moot point because Dallas doesn't need him, and the contract will (and has, apparently) scared other teams away, but I think he's a player who can add quite a bit in the right situation. Oh, well.
