Yeah I just don’t see any chance of Detroit moving Grant for anything we have to offer whose name doesn’t start with Jay. Our picks won’t be good, our players won’t help them build, and Grant is a young cost-controlled productive piece who fits their rebuild. There’s absolutely no reason for them to trade him.
Vucevic moves the needle for this team. I understand the defense concerns, but look, you can figure that out. We started Isaiah Thomas and went to the ECF. We started Kemba and went to the ECF! We’ve been undersized for a long time. I would welcome some length on the block.
Offensive skill wins in today’s NBA. Yes you need to have a strong defense, but we can still have a top-10 D with Vucevic and the rest of our personnel. The 5-man lineup of Kemba, Smart, Brown, Tatum and Vucevic is extremely potent. That’s a contending team.
