The Athletic NBA Daily
Jimmy Butler Trades + Cavs and Thunder Dominance

It was really helpful for a guy like Brandon Miller, who's a guy who's a very good off-ball player and sort of like a natural fit next to a four or a five that can pass and set good screens like that. So I think Brandon has missed that as well, even when he's been – healthy and in the lineup.

And just, again, what Grant does, it's kind of funny when you see a... He's 6'5", 6'6", and I think people think of Grant as a guy that would switch around a lot, but Charles Lee was using him in drop coverage and stuff this season, too, which is a little funny when you see a guy that height playing the drop, but...

Grant can get the job done in a bunch of different ways, and you just knew they weren't going to be able to replicate it. He's a guy that, really the one dude on the team that has proven postseason experience, and that speaks to his playability and viability in leverage minutes and crunch time.

and now you know you're relying on you know a miles bridges type they're actually using mark williams more as like a pastor in the front court but but there's really no one like grant um to sort of like bring that skill set to the lineup and honestly like my guess would be that outside of lamello and brandon miller and Maybe Trey Mann, too, just given his shot creation abilities.

Grant's probably the third or fourth most important guy. Hardest to replace guy, I would say, probably, on the lineup. He's going to be out. It's a really gnarly injury with the ACL. You just hope it's going to be smooth.

healthy recovery, but he's going to be gone for a while and there's no real way to, to, to bring that to, you know, to, to replicate that because Bridges doesn't give you the defense. Um, and so, you know, to John Salon's just not there, uh, from, uh, from like a, a viability standpoint.

Yeah. And the one guy that could really run like pick and pop with Lamello too, you know, none of the centers are stretches, stretch options. And again, some of the fours can, can give you some of that, but bridges is well under 30% on threes this year. Salons, you know, a pretty bad shooter right now. So even if you want to kind of get those pop actions, uh, You need it to be guard-guard.
