@jwquick Respectfully disagree. Not sure how you can objectively argue that. Grant played a position they now desperately need and is a better defender and 3-point shooter. Nevermind you're assuming Ja plays 50+ games.
@blazerbanter Does he do/say things during the streams that bother folks? If not, this discourse is no better than the criticism of Dame's rap career as some kind of "distraction." It's OK for athletes to not do sports 24/7. It's actually encouraged!
@AaronJFentress Bro and his ego more invested in "winning" every negotiation than building a healthy franchise. Echoes of a former Portland GM and this time there's no escape.
@AaronJFentress@blazerbanter Only part of the consideration. How much did it cost to acquire those two guards? You tell me you can get AD on the cheap, fine. But if you have to give up 1sts and also sign him to a bloated contract extension, no thank you.
@AaronJFentress@blazerbanter There is a gulf between the "perfect" star and AD. Roll the dice he stays healthy. Roll the dice he's still a star if he does. Roll the dice he agrees to play the 5. All so we can say Blazers traded for a star.
