Interesting. He just turned 30 so he is in the timeline range. He is definitely an upgrade to DJJ. The hardest part is going to be retaining DJJ. I'm 50/50 on DJJ. I love what the guy brings to the team. However, when you need scoring from your starter he's not your guy.
I see PJ being able to develop some moves and become a very good scorer/defender. I just don't see that with DJJ. At the same time I don't want to replace him with Grimes. It would be more of the same I think. Grimes could be an upgrade to Green but he's not where DJJ is as a defender.
I could definitely see how Nico could consider Grant the missing piece. If he thinks that he has my approval to get it done. He's earned that trust I think. Don't go over board with an offer but get it done asap. I think that means DJJ walks. And again I'm fine with that as well as THJ/Green being flipped for a package that includes Grimes.
That said, I don't let DJJ walk unless Grant is a Mav.
Find me at Lakersball.com. I'm done with the Nico and the Mavs.
