But in this particular case, Detroit is probably our best chance to dump Timmy for just a second, so it doesn't seem likely that they would be willing to add a cheap asset to the deal. There could be an argument for sending a first with Timmy for Grimes. It would probably generate enough room for DJJ but I'm not sure it makes sense to have all of DJJ/Green/Grimes on the roster, all making MLE in a year.
If that deal for Grimes was possible, and I’m not sure it is, I feel strongly enough about shooting that I’d be tempted to do it and then just let DJJ walk. Then, you’d have the MLE and BAE to use, yeah? You could get that backup PG everyone is crying for (though I’d be fine with extending the Exum experiment, truth be told).
Or, you do that deal, re-sign DJJ with that MLE and trade Green for something. I like Grimes quite a bit.
