[Marc Stein] A full potential trade construction has not yet emerged, but league sources say there have been scenarios discussed in which Quentin Grimes would land in Dallas.

Excuse me…. We’re going to get someone back and not just salary dump Tim???? Nico must have a lot of blackmail
Edit: Grimes is 6’ 5 on a Team Option. Has the tools to be a Josh Green like defender due to his build, size and athleticism and with the Knicks was shooting 36% from 3, mostly from the right corner or above the break, before the trade to Detroit where he played 5 games. Low risk high reward move to get anything back for Tim

The Knicks to Mavs pipeline must continue somehow I guess

Huh I didn’t actually expect we may be able to get someone slightly useful/ with young upside this’ll be interesting.

As long as we’re not giving up a first I love this. Analytics love Grimes’ defense. I also recall seeing Nico floated a Josh Green for Grimes swap and the Knicks had no interest. Can y’all imagine if we ended up just swapping Hardaway for him instead? My gosh what a fleece if he can pull it off.

Grimes is young, and on a very cheap team option contract. He was pretty good with the Knicks. Hope they get it done
YoStepWithLuka77
Man Nico don’t give away a FRP baby
EvanEschmeyer
No fucking way. Gotta be a FRP or Hardy/Josh/OMax included right? Right?!? Nico, keep cooking!!
SheldonMonk
Yes only and only if we’re not sending a first pick if that’s the case, that is and incredibly dumb move, I repeat and idiotic move. Trust in Nco though
Ill-Bat-2621
Ok so this can potentially mean we are moving on from green. GRIMES is an excellent POA defender and can fight over screens well
HolySchnikes123
I like Grimes. Good defender decent 3 pt shot. Duuude. If Nico pulls this off…

WE GOTTA LET NICO COOK!!!
RubMyGooshSilly
Dude gets paid pennies and is (before melting away in Toronto and Detroit) a pretty solid shooter and decent perimeter defender. I could see him being a nice late rotation guy.
YoStepWithLuka77
Honestly if Green is in the deal for grimes, I wouldn’t hate this if this is what they want to get the THJ to Detroit deal done
manabanana21
Maybe we’re moving Josh in a bigger deal and bringing in Grimes as a replacement? Something with a core like Maxi/Josh for Grant, THJ and seconds for Grimes? That would be incredible, even though I really like Josh.
OneTwoGhost
Having a proactive GM is so nice, i been praying for days like this
edit: heading into this off season i just wanted to salary dump THJ but now we’re potentially getting back a good rotation player. I love it
stilexx
Maybe THJ+#60 for Grimes+#53? Do we still another second? No frps send from us i hope.

What are the rules on combining Grimes in another trade assuming something like this happened? Or guess he could be a cheaper Green if there’s another move coming from that angle.

As a UH alumni and Mavs fan, this rocks I hope it happens

THJ and all the seconds if that’s what it takes

Grimes is solid. Definitely a fan if it doesn’t cost too much.

In before our shooting coaches turn Grimes into a 50% FG, 40% 3pt shooter.
Marangoni013
Is He good?

I’m on board let’s get it done

I don’t think it’s crazy for the Pistons to make this trade straight up. The lack of shooting on their roster is abysmal for a 2024 NBA offense. THJ isn’t perfect, but he can definitely get hot and win you some regular season games. He had some legitimate 6MOTY buzz for the first third of the season. Who else are the Pistons expecting to spend their cap space on?

Grimes is exactly what we need. He looks like a more aggressive and creative version of Josh. His off ball movement is beautiful too.

WOOO LETS GO!
I love me some Grimes, his brother plays for the Canucks too. So it’ll be nice for both my teams to have a brother connection
gdgatlin2
I’m gonna be sad if this is the sign that Josh Green is gone:( really like that guy
Madd_Squabbles
I posted that it would take a FRP to get rid of THJ’s contract but someone lectured me that THJ would be easy to trade away for just a SRP because his salary would be valuable to use in trades or something like that.
