2021-2022 AROUND the NBA: GSW Champs [ARCHIVED]

Feels as if Lakers can just pick any player they want and trade for him. This is certainly a package Mavs can match. If only Grant would want to come to Dallas.

I mean this is an article written on a Lakers fan site, using a Windhorst  hypothetical as the primary source.

My main takeaway from this article wasn't "Oh the Lakers are serious players for Grant", but rather "wow the Lakers fans are so desperate they'd use their last first and non 30 year old players left for Grant". It wreaks of desperation and they're hitting the panic button. 

I'm sure the Mavs could easily match that, and I like Grant. But can we discuss how idiotic it'd be for the Lakers to use their last resources in that way? Jerami Grant is a good player, but isn't a game changer. He'd be a great fit here because he plays a lot like DFS with more scoring. But I don't see how Grant saves the Lakers here. To use quite literally the last FRP they have to trade for a while for maybe the 4th best guy on a team is sad. 

I like Grant. I'd even pay a first for him if I was the Mavs. But I think the Mavs should set their sights a little higher right now than Grant given the amount of all-stars that are disgruntled.
