And they still do.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1bij9g78 _1mt21p01\">We\u2019ve been reporting for some time that Portland was hoping to use Jerami Grant\u2019s $34.2 million salary and first-round draft capital to try to get into the trade mix for Giannis Antetokounmpo \u2026 while also preparing to shift to pursuing Washington\u2019s Anthony Davis if the 10-time former All-Star big man and the Wizards can\u2019t come to an agreement on a contract extension when Davis becomes eligible for a new deal in August. But Brown undeniably ranks as another All-NBA talent who entices them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1bij9g78 _1mt21p01\">The question from here, of course, is whether even the aggressive Blazers are willing to satisfy Boston\u2019s steep demands in trade talks.
