The nets clearly refuse to rebuild and want to keep bridges, so they lose the contract of Ben Simmons and take back 2 starting calibre players to compete immediately. This also accelerates the rebuild of Portland, with only 1yr left of Simmons contract, as opposed to potentially 4 years of Grant.
Finney-Smith is too good to be wasted in portland and depending on the draft they may not need him and his $14m contract either, in which case he could be traded or waived.
Would picks be necessary in this deal too? Maybe a couple of seconds to the blazers?
