Is Grant a goner? (Yes: Traded to DAL for second rounders)

There does not seem to be an extension coming for forward Grant Williams, sources said. And it’s believed the Suns have interest in Derrick White. However, Boston just sent a first-round pick plus a future pick swap to San Antonio for his services in February. The Celtics aren’t involved in Crowder’s trade situation at this time either, sources said.

Let us push for Grant Williams to get into the 3pt contest.

I'd trade White and Grant for Ayton when Ayton can be traded.  Id' even throw in a couple of lotto protected 1st's.

I wouldn’t overpay for Grant..he can be replaced

Season starts in a week. Rob signed his extension last August. Do you think it’s likely that Grant accepts one at this point?

I'd say it's 50-50. Jaylen got his extension done the last day or so before his deadline.  Just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't.  Payton Pritchard hasn't had his option picked up for next season either -- do you think that will happen?

Suns interested in Derrick White?  That seems out of the blue.  I could understand some interest by the Celtics in Crowder but if he wants to start, how does that work?  I guess he could start at PF until RWill is back.  There would have to be something else to match salaries.  Torrey Craig maybe?  Crowder is probably a good player for the Celtics if he was happy in the available role.  Some good position versatility exactly where we needed it.  A 6'-6" guy to play at PF   

I checked the PHO depth chart on ESPN.  I know that is not definitive but they have Crowder as the 5th PF.

I doubt they would do this, but Cam Johnson and Dario Saric would work. A trade like that would likely help us quite a bit. Might be worth possible draft considerations to make it work.

Cam Johnson?  I think that is aiming a little too high.  Crowder and Saric for White would work.  Not sure those are guys we want or need.

Instead, Phoenix has aimed to supplant Crowder in its starting group with Cameron Johnson. During the team’s trade pursuit of Kevin Durant this summer, sources said, Suns officials remained steadfast that Johnson was off limits. – via Jake Fischer @ Yahoo! Sports

Jake Fischer is also reporting that Cam Johnson was untouchable in Kevin Durant trade talks, lol.

I’d assume the Celtics would pick up Payton’s $4M option, but I’m not sure how that is relevant to Grant agreeing to an extension. Payton has no say in whether the team picks up his option. It’s not an ongoing negotiation like it is with Grant.

[Vermont Green]

$4.0M for Pritchard seems like a good deal.  I wonder if they are waiting because he is in trade discussions?

The point is that these extensions and options often come in at the last minute, even the relatively obvious ones.  Sure, that didn’t happen with Rob, but it was surprising and felt like an outlier.  That Grant hasn’t signed yet doesn’t move the odds that much from where they were a few weeks ago, which always felt like 50-50.

A ton of players have already signed extensions this off-season, most recently McCollum, Nance Jr, and Adams. Doesn’t seem like they are “often” happening last minute. Just the opposite.
