Portland Trail Blazers Plot Giannis Trade, Grant on Block

Portland Trail Blazers aim to trade Jerami Grants contract for a star like Giannis Antetokounmpo, with Jake Fischer revealing Grants $34.2M salary and potential $36.4M player option. General manager Joe Cronin sees Grants departure as crucial for acquiring a real star or freeing up space for the young core. Fans and insiders buzz about this shift, as Grant was once Cronins target. The team favors keeping Jrue Holiday over Grant for trades due to Holidays versatility and desire to stay. If Portland pursues a big-name player, Grants contract must be moved to make it happen. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
