Why The Portland Trail Blazers Do The Deal
There is no doubt that they should. As far as this roster is concerned, Grant is going to stick out like a sore thumb.
This year, the Blazers will be all-in on their youth movement, and the veteran player will be the odd man out. That’s fine.
The roster of a rebuilding team can contain veterans – in fact, it may well be advisable to do so. Most of the time, we are talking about low-usage veterans who serve as mentors to younger veterans.
As a high-end NBA player who is ready to contribute to the team in the near future, Grant is still in his prime.
There is no reason Portland should have him taking shots away from Scoot Henderson, Shaedon Sharpe, and Anfernee Simons. It is almost imperative that he be moved as soon as possible.
