The easy to predict disaster of a trade for the Mavs. Why can't we ever get gifts like this. Rose should have been close to Nico instead of Thibs.

Silver wanted Luka in LA. Don’t be surprised if the mavericks coincidentally get Flagg

Dallas just gave him away, too which is crazy.

Would like to see Bridged be more selfish out there, he’s not aggressive enough.

I think we all saw Grimes potential when he was here. I certainly rated him higher than RJ and Quickley. We got Donte and he wasn’t a great fit in Detroit so we quickly forgot about him.

He was having a good season in Dallas, which is why, from what I read, they “gave him away” because they didn’t want to pay him this off season.
With George and Embiid out, he’s getting more touches and finally getting a chance to showcase himself.

Question is can Philly keep him? I think they will have apron issues if they cant move PG or Joel

How he managed to be on 4 teams in a year is kinda crazy. I still dont know why the Pistons didn't try to develop him as he is better and younger than Tim. The Mavs at this point we just have to write off for being dumb.

I think Grimes is good enough to say "Hey, if im not getting a chance here makes no sense for me to ever sign here". Thus, he is gambling on himself. Good for him. For what its worth he had some really good games here and had earned the starting job from Thibs. Thats not nothing!!!! Im sure we all figured out he could not handle it in NYC but we have no clue to the specifics. Perhaps he figured it out. Like Ty Jerome in Cleveland, This kid bounced around and put it together. NBA parity and cap thing does help players get other changes. Clev can't pay him unless they dump someone. That gives another player or team a good opportunity if they so choose to pick Jerome.

What's Julius Randle?

Knicks could matchup with them without Dame

To be honest, I liked the matchup even when they had Dame. That said, Giannis is still Giannis. OG does a decent job on him, but the Freak has shown that he steps it up in the post season.

Can we lose on purpose to get the 4th seed?
