PFT CommenterThe Jeremy Grant contract was the straw that broke the camel's back for Damian Lillard
The biggest loser in free agency is Jeremy Grant. Jeremy Grant got 150 million to return to the Trailblazers. Now on paper you're like, wow, that's a great deal. But the contract was the straw that broke the camel's back for Dame. He was like, this is, this is what we're doing in free agency. We're resigning Jeremy Grant. Yeah, fuck you guys. I'm out.
Lillard officially requested a trade on July 1, 2023, the day after the Grant deal was reported. While long-term issues existed, the timing supports this being a catalyst.
