Trade for Jerami Grant

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Jerami Grant went to Detroit to play for a black coach in a black city with a black gm. They ain't trading him to Utah.

Wood could have easily played PF next to Gobert and backed him up at center too, would be a tremendous upgrade over both bogey and favors. We'd be on another level with Wood here. Same with Grant.

I tried so hard to get us wood.

Gave everyone blue balls instead.

I'd honestly rather have Aaron Gordon too.

1) Grant was acquired by Denver in the same summer when Bogey/Conley were signed. Denver didn't get to keep him of course, but that's saved for another story. All I know is that they made it all the way to the WCF with him playing a major role. Now imagine having Grant on our team during that Denver series instead of the other way around. Everyone here would love to see a trip to the WCF, no?

2) Denver won't trade him to the biggest division rival. Sure. But OKC will, and they did.

3) That's why I said Grant OR Wood. If we chose to spend the money on Grant then of course Wood will probably be out of our reach, and vice versa. But having one of them on the roster is bigger than having both Bogey/Favors, who didn't play a single minute for us in the playoffs last season and will have much reduced role this year due to their age and conditioning. And lesser role next year. Lesser role in 2023. You get the idea.

And guess what? Grant/Wood will get the "bigger role" they desired on this Jazz team because you know? No Bojan or Favors on this team means over 40 min worth of PT as well as the Jazz's starting 4 spot is now available. And on average just how many shots does Bogey get to take in a game for us again?

Why would Wood or Grant settle for PT time/big role on a losing team when they can have PT time/big role on a winning one?

You are truly a moron.

Jerami Grant is about to reveal himself as another version of Harrison Barnes. Which is fine. Both solid players.

The funny **** is that if the Jazz signed either Wood or Grant, they would be putting up significantly worse counting stats and Bogey would be on another team (like a Detroit) and he'd be putting up amazing stats and they'd probably be bitching about not getting Bogey.

The Jazz have the ****ing 1-seed with Bogey playing at his worst possible point. We know what Bogey can do when he's confident and rolling.

Unless there is just an amazingly cheap deal for Aaron Gordon out there, there isnt anything the Jazz can do to upgrade.

Jerami Grant isnt attainable, and I honestly don't think he'd work out in Utah. We saw what he was in Denver, a team he's a much better fit for over Utah, and he was just OK. The Jazz often bullied him and singled him out on switches because he couldn't guard the perimeter. His offense isnt good when he isn't a high usage catalyst for his team. Posters really underestimate how hard it is to be a 4th option (or like 3B, w/e you want to call it) and keep that rhythm when you're struggling. Just give it some time.

Ditto. Both guys can drop 20 on a terrible team, both should probably just be role players on good teams. Barnes is a better shooter and already come to his realization.

Barnes just has the experience factor over Grant and he's really upgraded his passing. The Kings are also a bad team, but he's playing a more utility based role which is something the Jazz could offer him in their offense.

Cant tell if you're being facetious, but the black angle is 100% reality. It would just be a really weird PR move to trade the black unity player to Utah. It's not like they even need to trade Grant to keep losing.

Jerami Grant’s Detroit decision is a story of power structure, and empowerment

To understand Jerami Grant’s decision to come to Detroit as a free agent this offseason, you must first learn about the two separate entities that make up who he is.

So for everyone bitching about not signing Grant, does the guy who gave this reasoning for signing to a NBA team seem like he would ever pick Utah?
