Arriving from the Thunder last summer, Jerami Grant delivered a solid campaign for his first season in Colorado. If the Nuggets want to keep him, we will have to take out the checkbook because the winger is in the little papers ofa bunch of NBA stables.
Reaching the Western Conference Finals by hitting – with success – two of the best defending players on the planet, Kawhi Leonard and LeBron James, all while being one of the important offensive weapons of his team, apparently it doesn’t let not indifferent to the managers of franchises. As Shams Charania once again reveals to us from The Athletic, Jerami Grant is currently in the plans of several NBA teams, such as the Mavericks, the Suns and the Pistons. And we understand them. Quickly become an indisputable holder during the formidable course in Playoffs of this Nuggets team that nobody expected so high, the nephew of Horace Grant has completely changed status this season and especially in the bubble. With his slender profile, able to be consistent from afar (38.9%) and do the dirty work defending on the best opposing exteriors, JG has shown that he could have an important role in the rotations of many Great League membership.
On the Nuggets side, it is very likely that the tickets will have to be aligned to be able to hope to keep Jéjé. As it was presented for a few weeks, Grant would indeed have to refuse his player option which amounts to 9.3 million dollars, to find himself free agent and to raise the stakes. With a rating that has only increased in recent weeks, number 9 is right to be a little greedy and should not struggle too much to find a franchise capable of putting the package. With the place left by the end of contracts of Paul Millsap and Mason Plumlee, the Pépites should be able to have the margin to offer a nice increase to Grant so that he re-signs at home, provided they make choices. And given the cohesion of the group of the Nuggets, the magnificent course of this year and the important role that awaits him next year in this team full of promise, it would be difficult to imagine him leaving Colorado. Now, one could understand that going to share, at only 26 years old, the ball with Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis on the side of Dallas could also be rather attractive. And for the Suns and the Pistons, we would understand even more (that’s wrong).
Handyman in the Nuggets house, Jerami Grant has clearly passed a course and imposed himself in the beautiful collective of the Nuggets, so much so that many now have their eyes on him. We wish him the same success as uncle, at the baguouzes level.
