FA: Klay Thompson Comes to Dallas| 3yrs/50mil

I guess my hope is that Grimes is a more willing shooter than Green, and from the comments, it sounds like he is. If he's smart enough to understand the defensive goals and can be counted on to make a few shots when open, then he should grow into a role in DAL. Maybe not a consistent started, but a dependable bench contributor. Not costing much to kick the tires and it helped move the THJ contract.

Grimes, if healthy and playing well, is without question a more willing shooter than Josh Green and a much, much better defender. The optimism over his addition is not delusional, although Gump makes a good point that last year wasn't good for him, and it might not be smart of us to assume he's going to make a huge impact. 

I think he will, personally, and the trade is being heralded as a "smart bet," nationally, but the word "bet" is part of that opinion, lol. I am not super up on his injury status, I just know the player he was the year before, on the Knicks. THAT player could help this team a LOT.
