Trade deadline discussion

So I see where one Joe Ingles and one Rudy Gay is good for one Jerami Grant on the NBA trade machine, which raises the following question. With the emergence of Bey and Cunningham, does Grant become expendable to a lottery team?

I mean it makes perfect sense from the standpoint of who wouldn't want a front court tandem of Bey and Gay, and on the other hand who wants the headache of having two Rudy's and two R.G.'s in their rotation?

Grant is basically a lock to get traded at this deadline. He will have many suitors and will come with a premium because of the lack of other big name trade candidates. I will set the bar at 2 late firsts, an okayish young player, and an expiring contract. I think Memphis is the team to watch. Atlanta and Chicago also have the goods to get something done (if Chicago is willing to move Patrick Williams). I could see Cleveland throwing in Sexton and a pick as well. Basically the Ingles, Butler, and a first platter is pretty meh.
 
Ingles numbers since the report came out last week that the Jazz almost traded him in the offseason: 3 ppg, 1.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 3/14 from the field, 1/12 from 3. Coincidence?

Dang I thought it would be a lock just for the Gay/Bey factor alone;)

But yeah, that figures!

Interesting, first I'd heard of it. Kind of explains a lot actually, or at least provides more room for conjecture.

What was the supposed deal?

Nobody knows... it might just be Danny Ainge's influence "hey guys.... let's tell em we had a deal lined up and the coach killed it.... it was an awesome deal too!"
