Grant would be an awesome haul and honestly if we did that we would probably trade finney too because Bullock/Grant/Finney would be quite the logjam at wings. The name I keep coming back to when it comes to trading Brunson is Dejounte Murray. Feels like lots of rumors around his name the last season or two and he would fit nicely next to Luka (at least defensively).
Jalen would be a difficult guy to trade due to his contract status (years and $).
I will be very disappointed if he is not resigned. He looks so in control on the court this year and continues to get better. If he wanted to start, I would explore moving him to starter and moving Hardaway to super 6 man. That may be a difficult to decision to have with Hardaway though. When there was talk that Goran may wind up here during the offseason, I really thought the best way to make it work was to us Luka and Jalen as your starting backcourt and then bring Hardaway and Goran off the bench. The Jalen and Hardaway minutes will still be the same, but I think both Jalen and Hardaway play well off Luka.
