Trade & FA 2024-25:

using the 2025 1st rounder is more viable if they see Grimes as a long term guy we're going to re-sign
but that'd be such a bummer if he plays 10 mpg and walks at the end of the year 

maybe the Shamet angle works but Grimes or someone similar just makes way more sense

That's true, and while I'm usually belligerently close-minded to any mention of spending draft capital casually, in the specific case of next year's pick, I think it's safe to assume trading that won't come back to bite them. Again, if you can get two rotation players out of it, I can think of worse ways to use it. 

I just hope people don't see Grimes as an "instead of" option for Jones. That would be a mistake, imho.
