This narrative is dumb. Hes been on shit teams for a minute. He’s 100 percent a better defender than rui, he just hasnt had any reason to try.
Defensive rating is the perfect nonsense stat for idiots to use without giving context.
Same people will literally call dlo an average defender and we all know thats not true

Shocking!

Are they much better? No. Is he better than Rui yes. Considering contracts, Rui is better value.

He wouldn’t. Rui gives us way more dimension on offense. Jerami Grant on Jokic would not have done anything either, and he’s a terrible rebounder as well. Wanting what you don’t have because a player underperformed is exactly how you end up with Westbrook.

There’s an idea of Jerami Grant as a defender, and then there’s a reality…

Yeah I mean considering what we would have to give up to get him contract wise and asset wise, I don’t think I’d do it. Especially with his contract. I’d rather target Williams if we made a deal with Portland

Blazers just out trying to boost his value leveraging the Laker name. Throwing out smoke as if they didn’t sign an injured Grant to an awful contract.

Rui plus 2 frp and then either Vando or Gabe for the rest of the filler is not an equal trade.

We need one of two things.
1) a decent big
2) Athletic players, that can shoot well. Ideally with elite reach. We need a jrue holiday, a pj washington, a derrick white.
We literally do not have a single one on our team besides lebron and AD. Fuckin joke dude.

Thought it was pretty obvious.
Grant doesn’t fix a glaring weakness and overspending for marginal improvement when we are already limited in the moves we can make would mean this move doesn’t make sense.

It’s what I’ve been saying all along, but marginal trades aren’t going to work. The Lakers tax is very real and we’re going to get screwed in any marginal trade, as we’ve witnessed multiple times already.

I don’t really get the Grant trade idea. He doesn’t solve any of the issue we already had.
