Saying you are out of negotiations is one thing but doing something that basically trashes 8 weeks worth of work to say your out? Amazing display of confidence, negotiating, and spite. ~You can't run from who you are.~

Tweet was deleted or there was problem with the URL: Surprisingly this guy has sources. He called RJ extended or traded within 24hrs. |

He wanted us to add more unprotected picks and Grimes to that already good offer. Unless Ainge backs off his demands I am good with not trading for Mitchell. I have no interest in being added to the list of teams fleeced by Ainge. I did not want RJ to be included in the trade anyway. It seems the only reason why he was included is because they thought Grimes would replace his production in time. |

And this isn't coming from a butt-hurt RJ fan (i like Grimes too), just a basketball fan trying to figure out how a consultant(?) With no ties to the organization would confirm something so arbitrary (as of now). ~You can't run from who you are.~

Grimes isn't big enough to play a SF spot (I think he is your prototypical SG). Trading RJ and Fournier leaves you no SF at all except maybe Reddish (once again doesn't make sense with how he has been treated here). And that is not to mention the amount of picks you are giving up while still including RJ 22 year old 20 ppg scorer who can defend (and currently your best prospect). That trade makes no sense. ~You can't run from who you are.~

I choose to believe everything because he was dead on with the main part of the info. We go months without nothing and he says within 24hrs this will happen and exactly that happens with Woj confirming it was an either or situation. This was not an open ended guess. The either or situation and the Monday deadline are hard calls. |

If he did this trade before the draft I think he would have got Grimes, RJ, match salary, pick #11 and two more unprotected picks. Only because the Knicks would have been able to build around that Mitchell and Randle in FA. Once they got Brunson the roster fit was never going to be good… Also essentially a vet, one of the youth, and five picks (2 unprotected, 3 protected) is a fair deal regardless of who they sent out.

They will say he has the potential. According to this, Jerry West definitively says Grimes will be better than a player who, while inefficient, has put up 20 ppg in the NBA. Has defended the best wings in the league well. Has carried a team offensively. Has averaged over 23 PPG for an extended period of time in the NBA. I'm sorry there is not enough good tape on Grimes to make that statement. Grimes got 22ppg in the summer league and **** the bed when he came up against a team geared to stop him in a championship game. No one has any idea how that translates. I currently see a good comp for Grimes as Desmond Bane. ~You can't run from who you are.~

Said the Heat told them nope, that was their best offer. Ultimately I can see the Jazz falling back on the heat offer of two white players (Utah and Ainge reverting to form), Herro and Duncan and a few picks. |
