Grant’s 23, shot 37% from 3 last regular season, 41% this season, 39% in the playoffs, while being a solid, versatile defender, and was one of KD and Giannis’ main defenders (which led to one of their least efficient playoff series). Grant’s guarded the 6’11 MVP better than most, among other behemoths, so the Grant-Gallo frontcourt is being overlooked.
Brad’s MO is to lock in players that he likes as soon as possible, he did it with Rob, Marcus, and Richardson last season. He’s played Grant since his rookie season and he’s only improved since, I can see Brad signing Grant to a 4y/$24-40M deal before this season.
Gallo signed for approx. $6.5M, Rob for $12M, Horford’s contract is expiring (and I expect him to sign for less than his current AAV), for the amount of trustworthy playoff performers, we have one of the best cap situations in the NBA.
