The issue is that the starting unit is still one of better in league in terms of net + numbers so if you pull Grimes to get more scoring/shooting and the unit falls off it can be worse. I don’t see Fournier as the move - he’s purely a contract for trade now (Knicks have really shat on his career here but he took the $ and didn’t defend). The move is Donte for Grimes swap - same overall 9 man rotation but you see if it boosts starting unit somehow and also boosts Grimes off bench — if not you revert back or you start wondering about Grimes future playing in NY. Thibs doesn’t want to change he just wants Grimes to play better but the kid is making bad decisions all over the place and his D is falling off. |

That’s an excuse - he’s been playing scared and when the ball hits his hands he goes nowhere with it - he is the king of the extended 3 point line hand-off and he is running from the ball. He is a GREAT kid but it’s not his rhythm because he’s played well in past in exact same system. It’s possible DD addition upped the pressure in his mind. I agree with you I barked at TV when Grimes attempted stupid dunk over 3 people from about 20 feet away from rim - just a great example of him predetermining his move/shot. |

Grimes is a shooter, shooters need rhythm, I dont think that's an excuse. Is he scared on drives? yes... but he always has been, he's nothing but a shooter on offense right now. Grimes really took off last year when we shortened the rotation and he got 30mpg. The problem is now we have added DDV and Hart since then and there's no minutes to go around. At the end of the day we have prepared ourselves for a trade, and until that trade happens where we can shorten the rotation a bit, some of these guys are going to run hot and cold. Grimes hasn't forgotten how to shoot. |

Before the injury he was shooting the 3 pretty well and at pretty high volume. He wasn't doing anything else (no drives, no transition, etc.). I think he is a good enough shooter where he can do what he was doing at the start of the season without many touches and only getting 20-27 mins a night. He'd have some silent nights but overall shoot a decent amount of 3s and make a good %. If he did that and played ALL NBA level D I think he has good value doesn't score much overall. As much as a love Grimes right now he isn't doing anything on offense and I feel like his defense has slipped a little too. I'm cool with him playing through and agree he hasn't forgotten how to shoot. |
