2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

Yes Grant was known as a good 3&D player in Denver.

Ultimately I suspect the Mavs don't really have a shot at him because Detroit won't be interested in picks 3 and 5 years from now. They want a 1st NOW.

I think you're most likely right. On the other hand, I was surprised that the 26th pick was enough to land Wood. I've probably been underestimating how much an expiring deal can hurt the trade value of a good player. We'll find out on draft night if Detroit is willing to settle for something like a mid-1st rounder now or if they want to drag it out to the trade deadline. The longer it goes, the greater the Mavs' chance to get involved.
