I think they looked at him as another quality rotational 3&D guy, and he has disappointed so far because the D is not there. I'm afraid we will have the same disappointment with Grant. He has not played defense in 5 years and seems more interested in being the guy, which is not going to work here. I would prefer Cam Johnson. He has been a quality starter for years, is taller, a better rebounder and a better defender. He is not looking to get 20+ a game, but averages 15 a game with a good three and good at the rim. He is also a little better distributor. That is what we need. Quality 2 way starters.
Cam Johnson is perfect for our situation. He's one of the best 3&D players in the entire NBA. He's the elite role player that we need and could be to us what Derrick White is to the Celtics and Aaron Gordon is to the Nuggets.
I don't think we have the assets for him at this trade deadline though I'd offer Hardy, OMax and the 2027 1st for him. I think he might be a good target though this coming summer when we can trade more than one first.
Cam Johnson as the Grant Wiliams upgrade is exactly what we need.
