[jonasiegenthaler]

I can’t believe he’s ours (Jack Hughes)

Miller x Mir '21

[thisisreallyawkward]

So we have only two midfielders now.

[picked-off-by-barzal]

The boys went to dinner with Nick Leddy, don’t think I won’t sob.

[dubiousfox]

I wonder what the non religious boyfriend of the hallmark movie type boyfriend would be like, I think he’d be someone you find in a city, but like I wouldn’t want like a weird veg*n yoga guy or something , there was that one who I think was trying to recruit women into a cult or mlm or something who tried talking to me in 2019. ( kinda creepy actually)

If there was someone perfect for me I think he’d have long hair and be kind and be nonjudgemental. They’d also like music.

Of course there are supernatural romances , a werewolf would be ok(but no weird alpha stuff) but absolutely no vampires.

preseason four on four tournament winners 2020-21

[kirsctein]

season 22 -> need to buy battle pass with real money TWICE to get all seasonal rewards (each split separately). this is actual ass

addition: someone on twit pointed that premium+ gives access to all legends, and like… that is to attract new players?? who on their right mind would spend $20 per SPLIT to unlock all new legends when they’re new to the game. it doesn’t even take that long to gain legend tokens to unlock them permanently (…unless they’re taking that away)

[dashiellqvverty]

anyway follow me on serializd to see my legend of korra rewatch journey <3 might not be doing the rewatch all at once but i am definitely going to try to do this as a Project

Pushed Down and Down - Grid x Driver! Reader

Plot: Suffering with mental health issues as a driver isn’t easy - but when people actively don’t help it can only get worse.

Based on that one tiktok edit sound.

A/N: as someone who struggles with her own mental health this was a true comfort for me to write and reread. Drivers who talk about their mental health and how they do struggle literally have my whole heart (Lando, Lewis etc)

Warnings: Talk of mental health, depression, anxiety, etc, all drivers are a little mean to Y/N

From a very young age you were told you wouldn’t be able to do karting, and you wouldn’t get very far as it was strictly a man’s sport.

Your mum tried to sway your opinion as you were clearly the athletic type and get you into gymnastics or dancing. But the smell of the petrol and the adrenaline you got from going round the tracks was like nothing else.

Your dad on the other hand fully supported you, he was a mechanic so he did struggle to afford decent gear for you but you made do with what you had.

This however never stopped you, and as a child going into a teenager and young adult it didn’t affect you too much. You took your wins as and when they came and you worked hard for them and you took your losses as opportunity to learn from.

Oh how you wish you could go back to those days.

You proceeded to be asked in 2016 if you wanted to compete in British F4, you had your License and it seemed like you were this up and coming British talent.

You came 1st in the British F4 championship in 2017 right after Lando Norris and Max Fewtrell won the years before you. The two behind you being Oscar Piastri and Logan Sargeant. You didn’t win a race for the whole season, just pure consistency.

You then came third in the UAE F4 Championship in the same year. Oscar and Logan were also in that series with you. Logan being right on your toes coming in second place. This season you were close to taking your first win, but Logan had crashed you out taking the win for himself and leaving you down in P8.

Both Oscar and Logan of course moved up to bigger and better things in 2018. Both of them moving up to doing Eurocup Formula Renault whereas you weren’t offered anything.

In 2018 you competed in Formula 4 United States and came second place again. Your team let your American team-mate pass you on the last race of the season through team orders even though you were on equal points.

You took the loss and moved on because that just the kind of race driver you WERE.

In 2019 you were promoted to F3 and got to drive with Max Fewtrell, Logan Sargeant, Yuki Tsunoda and Liam Lawson. You came second and you actually were insanely close to Robert, but it never felt like a win. You were with Prema, and you fought tooth and nail.

In 2020, Oscar and Logan rejoined you in the feeder series and were in the same team as you as you remained with Prema.

Prema, unfortunately for you and Logan prioritised Oscar and with an insanely dominant year for Prema Oscar won the championship through the help of team orders. There were many chances for you to take wins but you knew you couldn’t get promoted to F2 just get, even though you spend to years in Prema and come second both times.

This was when Red Bull noticed you and backed you paying for the rest of your career which was lucky really considering your dad wouldn’t have been able to afford another season for you in F3 with all the debt he was already in.

2021 came around and Red Bull helped you further your career getting lots of sponsor shops along the way and finally securing you an F2 seat for the 2022 season.

In 2021 you finally won a championship, but you didn’t feel like it was a win. Everyone had something to say about this achievement, that you’d only won thanks to the team, and that it wasn’t driver capability. As a young 21 year old these comments really affected you going into the F2 season.

Once you got into F2 in 2022, you were head to head with Felipe Drugovich. Red Bull also came forward asking for you to become a reserve driver for Red Bull alongside your F2 driver Liam Lawson. You were back in the standings with Logan too, Oscar having won back to back championships and now becoming the golden goose on his route to F1 with Alpine.

This year halfway though the season you had to experience the unfortunate passing of your dad, the only true supporter you ever had. It was utterly dismal for the few races that came afterwards.

The season was closing out and there were only 3 points between you and Felipe with Theo and Liam not far behind. With a dramatic qually in Abu Dabi that had most of you at the back of the pack when starting the race, you prevailed winning the race and taking the championship.

You got out of that car celebrating only to see your team not there for you. You awkwardly celebrated with the team of the drivers from 2nd and 3rd place but you couldn’t understand why they weren’t there for you.

But he was there for you…

Christian Horner in his Red Bull team gear, white envelope in his hand that he presented you in the quiet room.

He was the first person to truly believe in you and see see potential apart from your dad and it was refreshing getting the contract that was going to sign you on as a rookie along with Oscar and Logan in the 2023 season.

-> y/user: I’m so thankful to you guys to be given the opportunity!

user2: oh this year is gonna slap.

maxverstappen1: welcome to the RedBull Family!

First was the Bahrain Grand Prix, it was your 3rd time in and F1 car and you were obviously very nervous. It was your first race weekend and you didn’t know where to place yourself.

The whole weekend didn’t really feel like your debut it just felt glazed over with Sergio Perez leaving and no longer being in F1. A lot of the team had hushed whispers around the situation, and Max tried his best to make you feel welcome but his awkwardness made that hard.

“So like what do you do, you drink beer?” Max awkwardly asks as you’d both been sat in the hospitality together waiting for Christian or one of the engineers to come grab you.

“Oh erm, no I don’t drink at all actually” you smile with a little furrow in your brows.

“Oh … right” Max sighs and thankfully that conversation was cut short when Christian came round the corner to collect you both.

You both were racing and for a rookie you had incredible tyre management making the agreed one stop strategy seemingly start to work despite the temperature on track. You were very quick, maybe even more quick than Max.

However coming out the pits, your tires are already starting to complain and tyre marbles are going left right and center.

Y/N Radio: What happened guys, my tyres are degrading so quickly I thought we agreed on hards?

Static was all that was received back.

Y/N Radio: Guys did you put me on softs?

Race Engineer: Sorry Y/N mess up at the pits, pit in 5 laps.

And once word got out to the other teams that they’d fucked up your race strategy and that you were basically free game your race was pretty much over.

P4 wasn’t bad considering the mistakes made, but you knew you’d could have gotten a podium on your first race.

“Y/N amazing first race in F1 you really know how to make an entrance to the sport huh?” The interviewer says cheerfully happy that you’ve done as well as you did.

“Yeah” you say with a smile.

“Not happy with the result it seems?” She pushes and you sigh.

“I’m of course so happy, getting P4 was amazing and I know my team are happy and I’ve made eveyone at home really proud. Thank you dad and I hope you’re watching! But it’s always a little … disappointing? I don’t really know if that’s the right word for how I’m feeling right now, when the outlook of something is going so well and external forces out or your control tamper with that it’s not a nice feeling. I’m really proud of the team today and of course Max had a great win today so we collected a lot of points for the team and remain top in the constructors” you explain and she nods slightly shocked with how open and honest you had been.

Eventually you were taken away by your PR manager who was starting to worry about what you were saying, a little scolding that you weren’t sure what for afterwards.

People spoke too, Lando and Oscar shocked you most.

“Y/N was kinda dangerous on track today, can’t believe she was that ballsy as a rookie man” Oscar said having know you the best driving with you for as long as he had.

“She’s talented for sure but I can’t help but feel like she’s gonna wash out” Lando admits with a sigh.

Was he right, would you have one good season and then that was it?

Things went the same in Saudi this time you managed to place your car in pole position, leading the race while Max had an unfortunate start from P15.

However after team orders came in to let Max take over once he got to a close enough gap behind you made you obey the team, not wanting to get on their nerves and make them regret choosing you. After that a botched pit stop and Oscar driving like a lunatic and bumping into your side left you down from P2 to P6

“Y/N what an incredible drive despite all that happened and you’ve hauled some good points for the team! How are you feeling?” The interviewer asks pushing the mic closer to you.

“Hot, I’m so hot right now” you joke trying to lighten the mood, wiping the sweat away from your forehead.

“Yeah I can’t imagine with this heat and the fact that the car is incredibly warm here” she smiles back and you take a breath before answering the second question.

“Yeah I mean today didnt go as planned. I got pole, I was on track to win, I did everything right but I just don’t think it was meant to be today and you know I’m going to fight really hard in Australia and see where we can get us hopefully something better than what I’m doing now” you say with a polite tight lipped smile and nod before going to the call down room.

You sat against the cold plastic door of the room head against it as you held in your tears. You always told yourself to never cry over a loss as you can’t expect to win them all. But this was supposed to be your race and you can’t help but feel like if you had Max behind you defending the incidents with the pits stop wouldn’t have occurred as you wouldn’t have done that second pit stop that cost you time.

In debrief you couldn’t believe what you were hearing.

“Are you kidding?” You laugh looking towards Max and then back at Christian.

“You didn’t move out the way from Max quick enough and you should have caught up quicker! What were you even thinking out there colliding with Piastri like that!” Horner announces making your cheeks flush a little red from embarrassment.

You didn’t think the collision with Oscar was your fault, but maybe it was.

Then you’d heard Daniel talking to Carlos, and your thoughts continued to spiral.

“She’s a tricky one mate, can’t see her having that seat for long” Daniel admitted to Carlos at the restaurant they were at with some of the other drivers.

Y/N was sad when she didn’t get an invite seeing as many of them were there but she didn’t take it to heart having fun eating alone while people watching.

“Yeah, I wonder how many times they have to tell her team orders” Carlos had added.

The next race was Australia.

You had the faster car, better starts and you beat Max going into turn one. It was a ballsy move on your part but it was clean racing, no damage done.

Race Engineer: Y/N give back position now

Y/N Radio: But I have the faster car Zayn, I got fresher tyres and my deg is fine. I have the stats don’t tell me I’m wrong when I’m the one in the car

Race Engineer: Y/N Max is fighting for the championship, team orders slow down and give position back

And so you did, you gave Max his position back and trailed behind him creating a DRS train behind you, Hamilton and Alonso not being able to pass you to potentially overtake Max.

After this race you started to keep a mental health diary and your coach thought it would be a good idea to see a therapist to help with your quick thinking and decision making on track, of course not for your mental health and you start to struggle with coming to the terms that Max needs a second driver and that’s what Red Bull hired you for.

So you became his second driver.

Constantly being criticised by the team and Horner, constantly having Max tell you that you need to be a second driver for the season and that’s it. Nothing else. Having interviewers wondering why you keep having these near misses.

When your home Grand Prix the British Grand Prix came around you’d just about had enough of being called a second driver. You took matters into your own hands. You spend hours in the sim working out the best angle for the corners of Silverstone and seeing how much you could push the provisional car down the straights.

When it came to qualifying you smashed everyone out the park in all three sectors. The media were buzzing at your stone face for the duration of the weekend.

“Y/N what an amazing qualifying for you, you were really flying out there. And your starting on pole tomorrow with Max behind you, is there going to be team orders to let him through?” The interviewer asks smiling at you.

“I mean there have been the whole season no?” You laugh with less sparkle and glimmer in your eyes than the start of the season.

“Yes, so you’re saying Max will be let ahead tomorrow!” She asks and cock your head to one side.

“He’ll be asked yes” you nod before you leave.

Race day came and you did not listen to team orders.

Race Engineer: Y/N let Max through, then we’ll pit you first to defend the lead while Max pits.

Y/N: what about, no? Come on guys, I’ve done everything for the team you’ve wanted me for. Just let me race him.

Race Engineer: Max will race you too hard, you risk loosing both the cars Y/N let him through.

Y/N: im sorry, but i have to do this for me, to prove I’m as good a driver as i try to be.

Race Engineer: Y/N don’t do this.

And with that you celebrated your first race win. Max had ended up DNFing when he got a little caught behind and skidded onto the gravel trap trying to make up too much time to catch you.

It was a full Brit Podium, you Lando and Lewis. You were thankful you had both of them there to celebrate with you as your team didn’t show up again. Probably all consoling Max on his first DNF of the year. He wasn’t happy at all and you could tell.

“Are you okay?” Lewis had asked you as you guys had stepped away from the podium. The man wasn’t blind and could see the disappointment on your face when no one was there to congratulate you on your first win and celebrate with you.

“M’fine” you say shortly before leaving and going straight to your drivers room, tears following. You spend hours writing away in your self help book. But you couldn’t wallow it was time to take on the words of Taylor Swift in her Reputation Era.

You never thought something you loved so dearly could kill of your spirit so quickly and easily. But Max go tougher as the season went on. Only allowing you one more win in spa where you once again ignored team orders. Max was incredibly unhappy with you up there on the podium and you just knew the media would have something to say about the awful tension between you and Max. He didn’t celebrate with you in Spa only the third place podium which happened to be Charles.

The Red Bull team member immediately celebrated with Max and Charles, as much as you tried to join in however you weren’t able to get close enough. You were royally fucked off.

Singapore felt like a breath of fresh air for you when it happened, it was a new feeling that had your toes curling as you pressed on the brakes knowing that Carlos and Lando were leading with you hot on their tales and Max being nowhere in sight.

Celebrating with them felt different, but everyone could tell that the happy bubbly girl who they’d started the season with was no longer apparent.

The season closed, and honestly your team, Max and Christian all seemed like 2024 wasn’t worth sticking around for … as a great driver you owed it yourself to find your worth in F1 and that wasn’t with Red Bull

Detroit Pistons Acquire Jerami Grant in Sign-And-Trade Deal

On November 22nd, 2020, the Denver Nuggets signed-and-traded forward Jerami Grant and traded the draft rights of Nikola Radičević to the Detroit Pistons for cash considerations. Denver also received a trade exception.

After a second round loss in the 2019 NBA playoffs, the Denver Nuggets knew they needed some athleticism and length on the wing to become a legitimate contender.

A 6-foot-8 wing with a 7-foot-3 wingspan, Jerami Grant was an optimal fit. His ability to guard multiple positions while developing a respectable perimeter shot made him the perfect complement.

To acquire Grant, the Nuggets dealt a 2020 first round pick and fit Grant into a trade exception created from a previous trade involving Wilson Chandler. The deal involved no other players, meaning Grant was set to join an intact nucleus.

With rising expectations for the 2019-20 season, the Nuggets lived up to the hype early on, beginning the year with a 13-3 record. Though the team suffered some losses, by the end of Christmas day it was second in the West with a 21-9 record.

Denver would cool down slightly, but was still third in the West after 65 games with a 43-22 mark. At this point, the NBA season was paused for nearly five months due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

After the NBA season resumed in the summer with an Orlando, Florida-based bubble format, Denver was 3-5 in eight regular season bubble games to finish out the regular season with a 46-27 record. It was good for third in the West. 

Grant joined a crowded frontcourt and played most of the 2019-20 season as a reserve for Denver but filled in at times as a starter at both forward positions. He appeared in 71 games (24 starts) and managed 12.0 PPG, 3.5 RPG, 1.2 APG, 0.7 SPG and 0.8 BPG in 26.6 MPG.

In the opening round, the Nuggets faced a Utah Jazz led by the scoring star Donovan Mitchell and defensive stalwart Rudy Gobert.

Mitchell dueled with Jokić and Jamal Murray down the stretch of the opener which went into overtime. Mitchell scored 57 points and had 26 of his team’s final 32 points in the final 11:29 of action.

Murray and Jokić combined for 65 points and had 30 of Denver’s final 37 points in a 135-125 Nuggets overtime win. In Game Two, the Jazz responded well, building a 31-point edge in a 124-105 win. The third game continued the Jazz offensive onslaught as they took the game by 37 points.

With Denver struggling defensively, head coach Michael Malone made the decision to insert the defensive-minded Grant and guard Monte Morris into the starting lineup over rookie Michael Porter Jr. and Torrey Craig.

The move seemed to pay off as Denver was much closer in Game Four. Mitchell had 51 points and Murray recorded 50 in a back and forth matchup. Mitchell had 18 points in the fourth quarter as Utah held off Denver to win 129-127.

Facing elimination, Denver tried to get back in the series. Utah led by as much as 12 with 3:35 left in the third quarter, but the Nuggets outscored Utah 45-23 over the last 15-plus minutes to stave off elimination with a 117-107 victory.

Murray was spectacular in Game Six, helping the Nuggets pull away late, scoring 18 points in the fourth quarter and 50 overall as Denver forced a seventh and final contest with a 119-107 win.

The series decider was close. Unlike the first six games, both Denver and Utah failed to reach 100 points and shot under 40%. Jokić gave the Nuggets an 80-78 lead with 27 seconds left after a hook shot. 

On Utah’s final possessions, Mitchell turned the ball over with eight seconds left and after the Nuggets missed a layup Mike Conley missed a three at the buzzer that would have given Utah the series. The Nuggets took the first round matchup 4-3.

In the opening round, Grant appeared in all seven games and amassed 11.3 PPG on 41.7% from the field, 3.4 RPG, 1.4 APG and 1.0 BPG in 34.1 MPG.

The Nuggets advanced to a next round duel with the Los Angeles Clippers. Los Angeles went on a key 49-24 run from the first to third quarter to easily take the series opener 120-97.

Denver built a 44-25 first quarter lead in Game Two and led by 19 points early in the third quarter. Los Angeles made a run and cut the deficit to five points. Jokić (26 points and 18 rebounds) and Gary Harris combined for three buckets to allow the Nuggets to regain control and they took the contest 110-101 and tied the series 1-1.

In the third game, Paul George had 32 points for the Clippers and his team outscored the Nuggets 29-19 in the fourth quarter. The Clippers won the game 113-107. Los Angeles took an 18-point lead in Game Four before the Nuggets went on a run and tied the game at 48 early in the second half. A 21-5 run by the Clippers led to a 96-85 team win and a 3-1 series lead for Los Angeles.

Facing the 3-1 series deficit for the second consecutive series. Denver trailed by 16 points in the first half of Game Five. Nuggets veteran Paul Millsap led a run in the third quarter with 14 individual points. Murray scored 26 points in a 111-105 comeback victory making the series 3-2. In the sixth contest, Los Angeles led by 16 points at halftime. Denver dominated the second half 64-35 and had a key 30-8 run in a 111-98 win. 

Game Seven saw Los Angeles build a 12-point advantage in the first half but the game momentum quickly switched again. Murray dropped 40 points and Jokić put up a triple double as Denver outscored the Clippers 50-33 in the second half. The Nuggets completed the 3-1 series comeback with a 104-89 victory.

The second round saw Grant struggle on offense, recording 9.0 PPG on 34.5% from the field and 25.7% from the three-point line), 3.0 RPG, 1.1 APG and 1.0 BPG in seven games. He did provide solid defense, guarding both Leonard and George more than any Nugget throughout the series.

The Nuggets made it to the Western Conference Finals for the first time in 11 years and matched up the Los Angeles Lakers and the superstar tandem of LeBron James and Anthony Davis. 

In the opener, Davis starred with 37 points and 10 rebounds and the Lakers outscored the Nuggets 67-41 in the second and third quarters as they easily won 126-114. 

Game Two looked like it was headed in a similar direction. Los Angeles built a 10-point edge at halftime. However, Denver managed to stay within arms reach. Late in the action, Jokić converted a hook shot with 20.8 seconds left, giving Denver a 103-102 lead. 

The Lakers missed their next two shots but managed to regain possession after both misses. With 2.1 seconds left, Davis broke free after a defensive switching mixup involving Grant and Mason Plumlee and nailed a fadeaway three at the buzzer off an inbounds play to win Game Two 105-103.

Jokić and Murray scored a ton for Denver in the first two games but hadn’t received much help from a third scorer. In Game Three, the Nuggets had control for much of the game. Jokić and Murray combined for 50 points, but a major key was Grant who had several drives and managed to get to the foul line to score a playoff career-high 26 points. Denver managed to make the series 2-1 with a 114-106 win. 

In Game Four, Davis and James put up a combined 60 points and the Lakers dominated the paint with a 25-6 advantage in second chance points in a 114-108 Lakers victory. 

Los Angeles built a 15-point lead in the third quarter of Game Five. Grant led a comeback as Denver managed to tie, but James (38 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists) wouldn’t allow another comeback as he scored 16 points in the final frame to give the Lakers the 117-107 win and the 4-1 series victory. Grant had 20 points in the loss.

For the Conference Finals, Grant put up 15.8 PPG on 45.6% from the field and 30.8% from the three-point line), 3.6 RPG, 1.4 APG and 1.2 SPG in five games.

Though his perimeter shooting could be spotty at times, Grant’s performance in Denver’s magical playoff run was impressive and helped his case for a significant payday in free agency. 

Grant often guarded the opponent’s best offensive option in every series. This included the likes of Donovan Mitchell, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and LeBron James. And he had some big performances offensively as well.

There were signs of concern however. Grant’s on-off numbers were usually in the negative all season despite Denver’s overall positive performance. During the regular season, the Nuggets were outscored by 2.2 points per 100 possessions in the 1,892 minutes Grant was on the floor. The team was plus-7.4 points per 100 possessions when he was on the floor.

Grant’s numbers on the floor with Jokić also were negative which stood out considering how veteran Paul Millsap’s net rating with Jokić was positive. There was some noise in the numbers such as Millsap playing mostly with the starters.

After the season, Grant opted out of the $9.3 million final year of his contract and became a free agent. Though Denver offered him a three-year, $60 million deal, he opted to take the same exact figure deal with the Detroit Pistons. The move was a surprise considering Denver’s recent Western Conference Finals finish and the surplus of talent the roster had compared to Detroit’s status as a rebuilding team.

In an effort to recoup something for Grant, the Nuggets signed and traded him to the Pistons along with the draft rights to a 2015 second round pick Nikola Radičević. A 6-foot-6 guard, Radičević played professionaly in Spain, Serbia and Italy and had never come over to the NBA, though he played for the Nuggets in 2017 Summer League.

Grant wanted a much more featured role as a featured scorer and leader, something the Pistons could offer him. Other key factors mentioned were the fact that the team’s head coach and lead front office decision maker were Black men and Detroit’s place as the Blackest major city in America.

The Grant move created a $9.5 million trade exception for the Nuggets. Denver later used $4.2 million of that exception to acquire JaVale McGee in a trade with the Cleveland Cavaliers at the 2021 trade deadline. The deal left the club with a $5.3 million trade exception which expired in August of 2021.

Grant joined a Pistons team lacking direction. The team’s new general manager Troy Weaver was heavily ridiculed for a seeming obsessive pursuit of centers. The team drafted center Isaiah Stewart in the first round and also signed centers Mason Plumlee and Jahlil Okafor in free agency. The team also traded for centers Dewayne Dedmon and Tony Bradley.

Dedmon and Bradley were quickly removed via release and trade respectively, but the pile of pivots arriving to Detroit’s roster was remarkable.

Grant started at the small forward position and was a pleasant surprise for the Pistons. He had just nine points in his 2020-21 team debut but proceeded to record at least 20 points in 14 straight games.

In that stretch, Grant produced 26.3 PPG on 46.6% from the field and 40.6% from the three-point line drawing early All-Star and Most Improved Player consideration. 

Grant’s performance also highlighted his decision to step into a larger role which drew skepticism around the league since he had never been more than a 3-and-D contributor, meaning he played defense and primarily operated in the offense as a finisher rather than a shot creator or passer.

Grant cooled down, but continued throughout the season to have large moments such as a 43-point explosion against the Chicago Bulls in February.

Late in the season, Grant missed nine out of the last 10 games due to right knee soreness. The forward ended the 20-21 season with 22.3 PPG, 4.6 RPG, 2.8 APG, 0.6 SPG and 1.1 BPG in 54 games and 33.9 MPG.

During the season, Detroit was one of the worst teams in the NBA. With former All-Star Blake Griffin having all of his talents sapped from a laundry list of injuries, there was an opportunity for Grant to step up but at the same time was a reason for concern in how the Pistons would fare during the 2020-21 season. 

The Pistons began the year 1-7 and continued to lose. As the season wore on, veterans Derrick Rose and Griffin were traded and bought out respectively leaving the Pistons as one of the younger rosters in the NBA. Just 26th in offensive efficiency, Detroit finished the year with the second worst record in the NBA with a 20-52 record.  

One of the surprises of the NBA season, Grant finished second in voting for Most Improved Player of the Year voting behind New York Knicks forward Julius Randle. 

After Detroit’s miserable regular season, the team ended up winning the draft lottery and selected highly touted prospect Cade Cunningham with the first overall pick. 

With Cunningham in the fold and the previous draft class of Killian Hayes, Saddiq Bey and Isaiah Stewart all on the roster, Detroit was officially in its rebuild. At 27, Grant was a wise sage of the roster.

Detroit began the 2021-22 season 1-8. The losses continued to pile up as the team was 4-24 after 28 games.

Grant’s efficiency numbers took a dive early on and after playing in 24 of the first 25 games, he missed 25 games from December into February after undergoing surgery to repair a UCL sprain in his right thumb.

By the time he returned, the Pistons were 12-37 and on their way to another lottery pick. Near the trade deadline, Grant was one of the hottest names on the trade market. 

With just one year remaining on the three-year deal, there was concern for the Pistons on if they would be able to retain Grant at an ideal price. Teams like the Portland Trailblazers, Brooklyn Nets, Sacramento Kings and Washington Wizards were reported to have interest but nothing came of the rumors.

Grant finished out his second season in Detroit, participating in 47 games (all starts) and posting 19.2 PPG, 4.1 RPG, 2.4 APG, 0.9 SPG and 0.8 BPG in 31.9 MPG.

Shortly before the 2022 draft, the Pistons finally dealt Grant with one year left on his contract. They moved the forward to the Portland Trailblazers with the number 46 overall pick in the draft for a protected 2025 first round pick from the Milwaukee Bucks and three second round picks including the number 36 pick from the 2022 draft.

Though Grant and the Pistons failed to string together many wins in two years, Grant’s evolution into a decent primary scoring option was a revelation. In 101 games, the forward averaged 20.9 PPG, 4.4 RPG, 2.6 APG, 0.8 SPG and 1.1 BPG. Grant shot 43% from the field, 35% from the three-point line and 84% from the free-throw line.

Though Grant did trade in some efficiency in his offensive evolution, there was proof that he could be a featured scorer in an offense rather than a background player who fills in the gaps off the ball.

Soon after the Grant trade, the Pistons dealt Nikola Radičević’s draft rights to the New York Knicks in a deal that saw them acquire Alec Burks, Nerlens Noel and two future second round picks.

Jerami Grant on the decision to choose Detroit over Denver (via Detroit Free Press):

“It was tough. I was in a situation where I was comfortable. I loved my teammates, I loved the organization. It was a lot of things that made me teeter between my decision. But at the end of the day, I made the best decision for me and my career. My growth as a player is extremely important to me. It was a challenge, the challenge intrigued me. I made my decision and I’m happy with it.”

How a previous relationship with Troy Weaver impacted his decision (via The Denver Post):

“We go way back. It impacted it a lot. Just our relationship. It’s definitely a trust thing there. I trust him, he trusts me. It played a big impact on my decision.”

How he’s accepting the challenge of a larger role:

“It was the belief that Troy had in me, and the belief I had in myself. I knew this would be a challenge, and I’m open to challenges. It definitely wasn’t a no-brainer. Definitely was a tough decision for me.”

Detroit Pistons general manager Troy Weaver on Jerami Grant (via Detroit Free Press):

“Jerami was number one on the list to go after. His versatility, his growing, budding offense, but more importantly, what he brings everyday to the Pistons. He’s a guy who works hard, he’s professional, he’s a great teammate. All the things we embody.”

How he’s improved his skills on the court:

“Jerami has really worked on his game, become an outstanding 3-point shooter. There’s more there. He’s come here because it’s a big challenge. I’m going to challenge him to become the best Jerami he can become. I expect him to continue to grow. I don’t campaign for players but I’ll say this right now — this guy is worthy of being an all-defensive player, for sure. 

“The defensive mindset, who he is, the offense that people were able to see blossom in the bubble, which he brings to us here in Detroit now, along with his youth, he’s 26 years old. Just hitting his prime. We’re excited about everything he brings to the table as a young man and as a player.”

Denver Nuggets president of basketball operations Tim Connelly on Grant’s decision to choose Detroit over the Nuggets (via The Denver Post):

“Jerami’s a great guy and a really good player. He earned the right to be in unrestricted free agency. The whole time we were very encouraged. We were under the assumption we would get something done. Jerami, he wanted a new opportunity, a new challenge. He’s going to do great in Detroit. 

“Detroit did a great job targeting him and recruiting him. Certainly was a bit surprising and disappointing, but we thank Jerami for all he did in the year here.”

2020/2021

Life as everyone knew it had flipped. The end of your freshman year in college was not what you had expected in the slightest. It went from being one of the best things you had ever experienced to what felt like nothing. Due to the pandemic, your freshman year was cut short which also meant your first season as a collegiate athlete was also cut short. It was a bummer - to say the least.

So when Fall came around you were excited that your school welcomed back part of the student body. Under very strict guidelines your team was welcomed back and given the green light to begin your sophomore season. Before you got there, everyone was required to quarantine alone for 2 weeks in a nearby hotel before being able to move onto campus. Once you were able to get to campus, they did another quarantine, in groups, as a secondary precaution. It sort of made sense considering the people you were going to be around the most were your team.

Once the month of quarantine was over, you and your team were finally able to hit the gym. It was great to be back with the team and welcome the new freshman. It didn't take them long to warm up to you on the court considering everyone's lack of human interaction had people longing for connection. After the first few weeks, everyone played as if you all had been together for a few months. It began to feel like things had gone back to normal.

When games started you were reminded how not normal the world was. Everyone had to get tested multiple times before playing games which wasn't the weirdest part. The weirdest part was the fact that there was absolutely no one in the stands. Every school you played at tried their best, yours included, but it wasn't the same.

The games were still competitive and a little more physical than you recall. None of it really mattered considering you were just happy to be playing again. All of this leads you to today's game.

It is an away game for your team as you travel to Iowa for the first time of the season to play the Hawkeyes. You weren't a huge fan of away games, all thanks to the pandemic but your love for the sport kept you going.

Both teams are warming up and you begin to scout the other team. There are a few girls you take note of - one of them being their center. Another is a smaller girl, sort of scrawny frame but can shoot from anywhere - anywhere being multiple feet behind the arc. You know you are going to have to switch up the way you play defense but aren't too worried.

You look at her again and begin to really study her features. After a few minutes of watching her, it clicks. It's Caitlin Clark. You've heard of her. One of the things you always enjoyed doing was scouting out the next group of freshmen coming up and she was one of them. There were a few girls coming into the college game that caught your eye, Caitlin being one of them. You were excited to play against her.

When the game started, you saw yourself being challenged. You had the task of guarding the freshman and she was a challenge. She was everything the scouting report and media said she would be on the court. Her range was amazing, she never stopped taking shots and she had a solid pull-up game.

Throughout the game, the two of you kept going back and forth on who would win the little matchups. You could see the competitiveness in her eye and would send her smirks to get her riled up even more any time the play went your way. She would make it a point to come and mutter some sort of trash talk to you when the possession went her way. It became a little game within the game.

The game ended and your first matchup between the new star went your way. Even with the loss of her team, Caitlin dropped 21 points which you found impressive. After the game, you made sure to pull her aside.

"Hey, Clark!" You called after her as she was heading back to the locker room. She turns back and you can tell she is pissed but the loss - you can only assume you are the last person she wants to see right now. When she sees it is you, her hard exterior breaks and she gives a shy smile.

"Hey," she says and stops walking making you walk to her.

"You are going to be a little pain in my butt these next few years, aren't you," you say teasing her. Her smile grows and you can see a little blush creep into her cheeks. You were only a year older than her, but could tell you had an effect on her.

She just shrugs not really knowing what to say.

"I just wanted to come over and let you know that you are going to do great things. I am sure people say that to you all the time, but as someone who has now played against you - I hope there is a day when we can be on the same side of the court instead of opposite ones," you say and give her a genuine smile. "I look forward to our next matchup."

Your hand grazes her arm and gives her elbow a little squeeze. You give her one last smile and begin to head back to your team.

"Next time, I won't go as easy on you," she calls out to you. It makes you smile but you don't turn around to let it show, instead, you throw up your hand, flashing her your middle finger. You hear her laugh and you shake your head.

You know she means it, the next time you match up she won't go easy on you but it goes both ways. Now you have both seen how the other plays and know the next few years are going to be fun.

You played Caitlin once more during this season and her team took the win. The game was exactly how you expected it to be - she trashed talked a little more than you had expected which you did your best to return but your team losing put you in a slump. At the end of the game when your teams high-fived after she leaned in and whispered 'Now we're even'. Let's just say her words fueled you.

2021/2022

When you looked at the schedule for the year, you noticed that you would be playing the Hawkeyes three times. You have three chances to show her you are not one to just let her win.

Your first meeting was a fun one. They started letting some people into the crowd and that only fueled your little rivalry with Caitlin.

It really wasn't a rivalry but anyone looking in could see that the two of you talked more than any other competitors. The first two meetings between the two of you were back to back which was new to you and your team. Typically you would play teams a little further apart but this matchup was different.

Caitlin's team took the first win and she would not stop talking to you about how she was on top and would always be on top. You on the other hand were determined to never lose a game to her again.

Your little conversations on the court started to be noticed by both of your teams, not that either of you cared. You both had the stats to prove that you belonged in the starting line-up and on the court.

Your second meeting got a little heated as you tried to get into Caitlin's head a little more.

"Your hands have found my hips a lot tonight Clark," you say as the two of you are standing in the backcourt as one of her teammates is taking her free throws.

"It's called defense," she says like it is a known fact. You step a little closer to her to make sure she is the only one to hear your next comment.

"If they go any lower, we may have a different problem on our hands," you say just above a whisper and watch her reaction. All the color drains from her face and you nudge her. "I'm kidding, babe."

You can see the tenseness in her shoulders release as the game continues. Your team came out with the win and just like that you were tied again.

Your last meeting for the year was the toughest yet. Your two teams battled valiantly, taking the game to overtime. By the end of it, you were beat. Before you headed into the locker to felt someone grab your arm. Turning you see Caitlin.

"Clark," you say surprised. You give her your best smile which isn't much considering how tired you were.

"I just wanted to come over and say good game," she says and you can tell she is a little nervous. If you weren't so tired you would keep the conversation up but you were exhausted. So instead, you pulled her into you and enveloped her into a hug. She melts into you and the two of you stand there hugging for a few minutes.

Your eyes are closed as you hug her. It wasn't until you felt her arms wrap around you did you realize how much you missed physical touch.

Caitlin on the other hand had been dreaming of this since your first meeting. She stood there in your arms and knew for sure she wanted to be in them forever. She would never tell you that of course and decided to keep her little crush to herself.

You give her one last squeeze and pull away.

"The way you had me running up and down the court," you say with a laugh. "You have me needing a week to recover, babe," you say and give her a little nudge.

"Me? You literally pushed your team to get you into overtime," she says and pushes you back.

"Ya, whatever. I wasn't going to let you win again," you say.

The two of you parted ways for the night. As you went to bed that night you decided to DM Cait.

[You: Looks like you are no longer on top ;)]

2022/2023

It is your senior year and you decided to declare for the WNBA. It had been time, you felt like you had a good college run and were ready for more. Your team was the first to know you were declaring and then you decided to tell Caitlin. The two of you had talked a lot more and would often DM at least once or twice a week so it only felt right to let her know.

Caitlin fit into your routine really seamlessly. You credit the fact that the girl was always on her phone but really it was that her care and love for the game matched yours. The two of you went from being 'rivals' to friends and you would now consider her one of your best friends.

It's your draft night and you were likely to be the first pick of the 2023 WNBA draft. Even in that, you were extremely nervous. The night goes by in the blink of an eye. You were drafted to the Indiana Fever and could not be more excited. When you were lying down in your bed that night, you finally had a chance to look at your phone. The first thing you looked for was a message from Cait.

[Caitlin: Congrats on going first in the draft, can't wait to watch you 🤍]

[You: Thanks Clark - you'll have to hold down the college scene until you hit the draft]

You decide to message her your number, which in your opinion is long overdue but felt like it would lead to something more than it should be as rivals during your college years.

She immediately messages you.

[Clark: Can't get rid of me now]

[You: Oh I have my ways if I really wanted to]

[Clark: Hey! Just because you are a professional now doesn't mean you need to be mean]

[You: Don't give me a reason and we’ll be okay]

2023/2024

Your rookie season is a hard one - the transition is one that everyone says is going to be difficult but experiencing it is a whole other thing. You were tested physically and mentally and really leaned on your team and those around you.

Caitlin would always check in and give you her little trash-talking notes via text whenever you played. They would always end with some sort of praise but it wouldn't be Cait if it didn't have some sort of attitude.

Caitlin was the first to call you when you got named Rookie of the Year. She had slowly become your biggest fan and sent over a giant bouquet of flowers the second it was announced.

You would also check in on her during her season as she got closer and closer to breaking the NCAA women's scoring record. You even made it to the game when she broke the all-time NCAA scoring record. When one of the TV stations found out you were there, they asked if you would do a little interview.

"What brings you all the way to Iowa?" The interviewer asks.

"Well, that's simple. Clark," you say with a beaming smile.

"Do you know her well?"

"I would say so, she can be a pain in my butt but she's fun. Great player and her IQ for the game is one that is just memorizing to watch." You say.

"She hasn't explicitly declared for the draft but if she did, there would be a high chance of her getting drafted first similar to you which would mean she would be heading to Indiana. How do you feel about the potential of playing on the same team?"

"Well that is quite the hypothetical," you say with a laugh. "But I think it would be really neat to play on the same team as her, we have always played against each other and I think we would be pretty dominant on the court together."

Caitlin broke the scoring record that night. She was on Cloud 9 after the game. More so over the win than the record, it was cool but that wasn't the reason she played.

You had made your way down to the court to find her. When you did you ran up behind her and wrapped your arms around her waist. It took her s second to realize it was you and when she did, she started jumping up and down. When you released her, she flipped around and pulled you into a bone-crushing hug.

"Way to go Clark," you whisper in her ear. "Proud of you babe"

She doesn't let you go and you feel like people are starting to suspect something. You bring your hands down to pinch her sides and she jolts back with the cutest disappointed look on her face.

"Why?" She asks and you laugh.

"Looks like there are people who want to talk to you," you nod your head over to the people waiting to get a picture or interview with her.

"Are you staying in town?" She asks hopeful but you shake your head no.

"Don't worry, I'll see you soon," you say and pull her in for one last hug.

"I'm gonna hold you to that," she whispers in your ear. She nuzzles her face into your neck and inhales your scent. You feel the tickle of her on your neck and give her one last squeeze.

You follow her and her team as they head in March Madness. You go to support her again when her team makes it to the Final Four. It is a nail-bitter the whole time but Iowa is headed to the championship.

At the end of the game, you make your way around to some of the players. You go to all the players you know, ending with Caitlin. You tell her how excited you are that she declared for the draft and make a joke about soon being teammates.

Before you know it you are dressed and on the orange carpet of the WNBA draft.

You being the no.1 draft pick the previous year and Rookie of the Year, were tasked with interviewing all the girls that came down the walkway.

The one person you were looking forward to seeing had finally gotten to you.

"Clark!" You yell as you welcome her and give her a hug. You make sure it is a quick one but Caitlin has something different in mind as she does not let you go. It didn't matter too much considering you had already seen the edits of the two of you but you were supposed to be the professional. You pinch her side, like you typically do to get her to release you and she complies.

"Okay, how do you feel about draft night?" You ask her.

"It is all sort of surreal. Like I can't believe I am here," she says with a beautiful smile.

"Well you are here and you are looking better than ever. Prada? Girl you are stunning," you say and play with the bottom of her jacket. She looked so good but you made a mental note to stare for too long. She laughs and puts her hand on your arm.

"Ya, the first Prada dressed someone in the W, it's pretty cool," she says and takes note of you checking her out.

"Well I will let you keep going but it is really great to see you and who knows, there is a potential we will be playing together soon," you say.

"Thank you," she says and leans in to give you one last hug.

Caitlin was drafted first of course and you were beyond excited. After she was interviewed and pulled back for some photos you found her and gave her a huge.

"We're teammates," you practically yell in her ear. She laughs.

"You are going to blow out my eardrum," she says but doesn't break the hug.

"You're being overdramatic, Clark. I am just excited," you say.

You pull her to the side once she is done with the shoot.

"So now that you'll be coming to Indy, you gonna let me take you out on a date?" You ask and she begins to smile and blush like a little schoolgirl.

She nods.

"4 years is a long time to make a girl wait, Clark," you say with a smile of your own.

"Ugh, why do you always call me Clark," she says as if it annoys her and hides her face in your neck.

"Well because it annoys you of course," you say and rub her back.

She mumbles something in your neck.

"What was that babe?" You ask.

"About time you asked me out," she says and you push her back in disbelief.

"Oh, now this is on me now? That's funny Clark," you say and she wants you to hold her again. You keep her at arm's length.

"Hug me," she says, borderline whines.

"Not until that date," you say and slowly begin to back up. She is now the one looking at you in disbelief. "See you at training camp!"

AN: This is a cute one. Let me know what you think! And as always, thank you for your love and support 🤍
