Dario Saric will wear No. 9 for the Thunder. Last worn by Zavier Simpson, he of the glorious hook. Most famously worn by Serge Ibaka, followed by Jerami Grant. Malik Rose, Nerlens Noel and Moses Brown were the other No. 9s in OKC. – 1:47 AM

The Portland Trail Blazers gain a lot of breathing room under the luxury tax for 2023-24 by offloading Josh Hart and get some value for him.
They now have more flexibility to extend Jerami Grant to his maximum four year, $112.7M extension or re-sign him for more this offseason. – 10:26 PM

More on this storyline
That leads to Grant, who told The Athletic earlier this month that he has been offered a four-year, $112 million extension by the Blazers. He said he will likely wait until after the season to make a decision on the offer, and in earlier conversations with The Athletic, he indicated that winning would be the top, or near the top, of his priorities when considering Portland. He has until June 30 to accept the offer, after which he becomes a free agent. If he decides to head to free agency, the Blazers will be able to offer him more years and more money than other teams, but a source close to Grant said the difference in money is not life-altering enough to sacrifice his desire to win. -via The Athletic / February 10, 2023
So for all the talk about keeping Lillard happy (more on that in a bit) a larger dynamic was at work this week with the Blazers’ handling of the deadline: convincing Grant that this is a place where he can win. Unless Grant happens to be a draft geek and is jazzed about the five second-round picks Cronin managed to land from Golden State in exchange for Payton, it’s hard to see how he can trust this front office has the gumption and tools to be considered seriously. -via The Athletic / February 10, 2023
