Making the Case: San Antonio Spurs
The San Antonio Spurs are in an interesting position here. They finished near the bottom of the standings this season and it came after they qualified for a spot in the NBA play-in tournament.
Now, San Antonio has a decision to make regarding its direction. If they want to go the route of making a key veteran addition, trading for Grant could be an appealing choice. A trio or Dejounte Murray, Keldon Johnson, and Grant while retaining Devin Vassell, Joshua Primo, and their lottery pick in this year’s draft is an intriguing possibility.
Grant brings versatility to both ends of the floor. He has shown that he can score at a consistent rate and plays multiple positions defensively. With how teams like to go smaller in the playoffs, he has the strength to play a small ball five role.
Grant is set to make $21 million in the upcoming season and will be looking for an extension at some point. The Spurs might be able to get a deal on Grant if they agree to an extension.
