I know you understand this, and it's not about Grimes, specifically, because I agree that he's maybe not so gettable. But, I think it's important for some reading to point out that "dumping Timmy for air" is probably going to be more difficult and cost more, asset wise, than trading him for another player, even some that we might get excited about. 

It seems like very, very few teams will be looking to just ADD big salary in this new cap world, and those who've positioned themselves to make offers like that to teams in need will probably charge a premium.

While i agree it looks like things will be different overall when it comes to dumping contracts 

I think THJ has real value to Detroit. New GM that wants to establish a winning culture and raise the floor so they won’t be embarrassed again next year. THJ is hometown and his willingness to come off the bench is rare to find

It makes sense for them to get the best fits instead of some player who can’t contribute at all being dumped on their roster
