It’s a win-win deal where everyone gets what they need. Grant is an All-Star player, a top 3D player who is both offensive and defensive. He can inject defensive vitality into the Trail Blazers. This is also a signal that the Trail Blazers are winning now and are looking for assistants for Lillard. It is foreseeable that the No. 7 pick in the hands of the Trail Blazers will also become a bargaining chip, and they will make big moves.

It is close to 150 million US dollars in three years and the average annual salary is close to 50 million US dollars. It not only gives him the face of a super giant, but also buys time to prove himself again. For the 76ers, the original intention of introducing Harden was not to lower the price and save money, but to hope that Harden would lead the team to take off together with emperor . This short-term contract can reduce the team's risks and maximize Harden's motivation. potential. Whether the Emperor and Harden can succeed will be seen in the next two years.
