Stein: Jazz targeting Grant then Covington

Jazz want Grant but Pistons do not want Jazz's offer of a 1st and Ingles.

Covington is next on the radar.

 
Jerami Grant is a player I've been saying Utah should go after since forever!!!! He's a most excellent fit next to Rudy n fills several holes... There was a huge contingent of fans here who wanted Aaron Gordon to be selected with the pick that turned into Exum ---- I said over and over and over why would u draft Gordon that high when you could jsut take Jerami Grant who, inexplicably, fell to the 2nd round...
 
Posted this in the trade thread but I meant to post this here:
I'd love it but I just don't think the Jazz have the best offer. Is there anything else we could throw in? We really only have the one draft pick + the expiring that a rebuilding team like Detroit would be interested in. Could we sell them on Butler having some value? Ingles +Butler plus the first? Just seems like someone else will have a better offer.

Now we see what Trader Danny Ainge can do.
 
I was down on Grant since I thought he'd be a malcontent if we got him, but since we made his list of teams I'm back on the wagon.

Joe and a 1st ain't gonna get it done. I don't think Grant is as good as his Piston's numbers suggest, but if we get something between Piston's Grant and the Grant beforehand... that's pretty damn close to being the missing piece to the team.

I'm not 100% sure this is his list... why wouldn't Atlanta be on the list. I think they are the most likely destination. I think this may have been a list of those that are interested.

I’ll take a slight different spin…

For quite a while I had said that we needed to be dropping our names in conversations as pursuing guys like Durant when they’re free agents. Not because we’re going to land them, but by continually pretending like we belong at the table, eventually people will see us as being at the table (not to say you’re landing a Durant). It’s the NBA version of “so you’re that Fünke everybody’s been talking about!”

Perhaps the Ainge administration is leaking ******** like this to shape a narrative over time.
