I went with Grant because 1. He makes less than the KAT’s, Ayton’s, Siakam’s and Tobias Harris’ of the world and 2. Thybulle was a logical tie in.
I'd love to know the timing of Grant's contract versus Dame's decision. I'd guess Grant agreed to the deal with full knowledge that Dame was going to hit the eject button. Portland enters the rebuild and are paying Grant that massive contract to set the culture for all the young pups.
Siakam is really the only name on your list I'd be interested in giving up a future pick for and I'm honestly not sure that gets it done, even if you included Hardy or Josh.
