Completely forgot about that massive contract though. Would assume it’s the basis of it would have to be Tim and Maxi just for salary matching purposes.
40% from 3 the last two seasons on about 5 per game. A two way player that can somewhat create his own shot. More of a question of if the Blazers are looking to part ways and how much they value one of our first round picks.

If we don’t gotta give up too much I’d gladly take him

This article says he’s on a 5-yr 190m contract when its just 160m, heavily misleading for the average nba fan

He’s a great fit on offense, but a somewhat questionable fit on defense.
He’s not a great POA defender, his skillset overlaps with PJ on defense. But for the right price, we should definitely consider him. He’s the shooter and 3rd scorer we need.
His contract is a problem though, it would make it much harder to keep DJJ if he wants the full MLE.

From what I know about Jerami, I think he would like to play for the Mavericks.

He would be that 3rd scorer we need, but I wouldn’t wanna give up too much for him especially considering his contract

For the right price, absolutely

Pros
-Legitimate 3rd scorer
-Can get his own shot
-Knock down 3 point shooter
-Good help defender
-Veteran
Cons
-Big contract that will hurt roster flexibility
-Wrong side of 30
-Not a great point of attack defender
-Bad rebounder
I’d want to see what the package would have to look like before I was ok with it

THJ Josh and all second(s) is what could be offered. If they somehow add thybulle/brogdon to the deal then idk what the trade package would be, just I would make sure not to give up any firsts
NoviDon07
If he buys into the team philosophy of defense first and accepts the role of the third option in a Big 3, his contract is very reasonable. He would be the third paid behind Luka and Kyrie, and will offer another elite 3 point shooter and 20 ppg scorer with above average defense.

Thai would put us out on DJJ right? We wouldn’t be able to afford both?

Tim, Josh and a first. Best offer. Then trade Maxi to a team with cap space for a second, letting us resign DJJ. I assume that gets us pretty close to the MLE. A frontcourt of PJ+Grant+Lively/Gafford may just push us over the top. Sign a Goga type player with the minimum for our third big slot.

We need to go in on Deni or Tryley Murphy and not get baited by Jerami Grant.

I’m not as high on Grant as some of you guys. I wouldn’t trade major assetts for him. If we were able to get him for the 2031 pick and THJ, Maxi, TPE I’d be okay with it – I guess.
The Mavs need a POA defender at the 3 – It’s critical. Luka is a 3/4 on defense, so one of your forwards has to be able to guard 1’s and 2’s. I don’t think he is a good option as a POA defender – He has also never done the scrappy stuff like rebound.
I trust Nico to make great roster choices though.

Maxi, THJ, Josh and some SRPs for Grant and Thybulle or Brogdon could be a fair trade for both sides.
I’m hesitant on Maxi bc I don’t know if PJ could ever really be a small ball 5 and I think Maxi has a rare niche that could be hard to replace. But I think Grant solves a lot of the offensive issues and has the athleticism to play great team defense.

I think he fits, only downside is the contract.
