Big competition for the Nuggets in the Jerami Grant case

While he was assured of being able to rake in more than $ 9 million with his “player option” for next season in the Rockies, and a priori voluntary to stay there, Jerami Grant will however test the market because his rating is high and it will be the object of covetousness during the “free agency”.

According to the Denver Post, three franchises are already officially in the ranks: the Pistons, the Hawks and the Suns. All three have the financial leeway to offer a more lucrative contract, without ensuring the sporting results of the Nuggets, legitimate contenders in the West.

“When you look at the landscape of the Western Conference, you realize that you are going to have to beat Los Angeles, be it the Clippers or the Lakers, and even, in our case, both in a row,” recently explained Mike Malone. “I knew for a fact that I had to use Jerami on Station 3 at some point. “

“An important element of our future”

Able to play on the two winger positions depending on the duels, and therefore to face LeBron James and other Kawhi Leonard, Jerami Grant still has to progress on his outside shot and has already improved his dribbling to strike with his explosive trigger. With 13 points and 3 rebounds on average in the playoffs, including 15 points and 4 rebounds against the Lakers in the Western Conference final, he is starting to show serious signs of maturity.

“I think he’s an important part of our future and above all I would like to continue working with him, both with the player and the person”, Mike Malone pleads bluntly. “He showed all Nuggets fans how important he was to the team during those 19 playoff games. ”

Strong link between Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, opportunist striker and multi-faceted defender, Jerami Grant has proven himself and he could be convinced to stay in Denver because of local ambitions. But, like CJ McCollum and Damian Lillard’s mischievous winks on social media, it’s highly likely that the Suns, Hawks and Pistons aren’t the only ones courting Jerami Grant and the stakes could climb. …
