Zero interest in Grant. Last thing we need is expensive 4th option that is an anemic rebounder. Keep Smart easily over Grant.


smart to philly
poeltl to memphis
draft compensation to toronto


For what it is worth, I don't think it is actually Philly. Checked and I think it requires Reed 16 both out to still have OG max and not even have PG max money left. And that is with 0 remaining cap holds of any kind and all vet mins.

Besides, I feel like this is actually not a real task. Grant isn't actually that much more at all than Smart (and Zaire), and actually locked up. Besides Claxton, I haven't heard a name that would make the fans happy and there obviously are a ton of issues trying to make that magically work.

Poeltl is a more realistic target but I think we would just keep Smart and use Kennard/Zaire/Assets to get him. We likely dump Konchar on a 3rd team to keep the tax minimized.

Poeltl is a piece of art, to say politely. We cannot rely on him in PO games. He is as soft as my dog’s ass.

The only thing soft about Poeltl are his hands when finishing around the basket and catching passes.

Grizz have absolutely no interest in dumping Smart and surely not paying to dump him. We traded a starter level pg/2 1st one that happens to be a lottery pick for him. Grizzlies are a contending team Smart is a contending level player with incredible intangibles to grow our culture
