Getting something would have been nice, but as much as I would have liked Grant back, we couldn't afford that price. Even without him we're spending so much on guys in front of him that it's just not viable. Tatum/Brown/Porzingis is 100 next year, and Brogdon/White/Rob is another 50. Jaylen is the only guy who doesn't have a comparable cap hit the next year as well, and not keeping him if it's remotely possible is a fireable offense.

Keeping the flexibility we could out of the deal was probably the best we could do. I like Grant, and he's a serviceable matchup defender, but I'm not sure he's an every day lockdown guy. He's a good catch and shoot corner 3 player on offense and very little else. Who's beating down the door with a better offer?
