Shoots, defends, finishes at the rim, can pass, willing screener, good teammate and decent contract. He’s not going anywhere. More likely Grimes and Hardy leave because their contracts are up. Those two, Maxi, OMax and Gafford for a playoff tested monster like Draymond because you can make the contracts work (he makes 24.1/M). Him and maybe Gary Payton for a collection of Mavs, but I hope they just make it work with this bunch. Great guys. I don’t know how much better they’d be with Draymond and they might not want to invite that type of manic behavior into their locker room although he might be the only guy we can afford who would have made a difference against Boston.

That’s what I love about Butler. Virtually every player went crazy when Grimes made a play on them. Not him. You can always tell the true playoff badasses. Never a complaint. Just twice the effort next time down the floor and he forces the ref to call a foul on him for equally aggressive play, which they don’t because they love the guy. Regardless when the s*** hits the fan Grimes, Marshall and Lively will be on the court with Luka and Kyrie late in IMPORTANT GAMES. You have to be able to guard the best players to be on the court with the Big 2. We have a great group now of blue collar players. All will be fan favorites and Quinton will get paid by February or he will be traded.

Grimes, Klay, and Marshall will all contribute significantly to the Mavs' passing, playmaking, and court-awareness, and collectively should be good enough to make up for the loss of DJJ on defense.

How does Nico keep cooking? You mean to tell me that he got this kid for Hardaway and a couple of 2nd rounders? Grimes is everything Hardaway should've been. What really surprised me was how aggressive he is and his passing. He really enjoys driving it to the cup & can make some great passes along the way. He's really gonna fit in with the Mavs bigs. Those are aspects of the game that don't really fit Hardaway. Hopefully Grimes can shoot like 37% from 3. That would be huge. And his point of attack defense is really impressive. Another aspect of the game that just ain't Timmy. It's got me wondering if Grimes might not come in and compete with DJJ for the starting spot.

@@brianhenry7983but that's because holmes was always only ever about moving bertans contract and getting omax in the process. Most smart mavs fans understood holmes would likely never see minutes and was just an easier contract to move than bertans. It's extremely unlikely we ever would have sniffed getting someone like gafford if we were trying to stuff bertans shitty contract in to the deal. Dante exum has well exceeded his contract value. He is basically the end of the bench guy, and frankly you could do so much worse I am borderline shocked anyone would have a problem with 3m for a guy that makes the contributions he has. Hardaway's contract actually was not bad when nico re-signed him and continues to be a fair contract for a team who needs a player of his type. Frankly he was an impact player for us prior to the TDL. He became expendable on this roster once we became more defensively minded, though. Grimes is literally only someone we traded for to come off thj's contract. The fact that grimes could potentially actually be useful is just icing on the cake. Are you aware of the alternative options that were out there to move off thj's deal to free up the MLE? Grimes is the only remotely useful player that was on the short list of guys mavs could trade for that fit the financial situation they were trying to get out of. I'm going to refrain from saying anything completely rude to you, but you're simply missing the point if you think this has anything to do with bringing in a marginal player like he is going to save our team.
