MAVS NEWS:

[mvossman]

Grimes was awful last year. Abysmal, on 2 diff teams, both of whom wanted his best, both had high hopes -- and then both gave up and looked for someone to take him. Fairly cheap.

The excuse for his poor play was that he was injured. But, if he wasn't .....

Was he really that bad in NY?  He shot over 36% on 3s with 8.4 attempts per 36 while being a plus defender.  That is better floor spacing than anyone on the Mavs other than top three, and that was a down year.  He played 6 games in Detroit.  Not a lot to read in that sample.

NY refused to put him in a trade for Mitchel and rejected trading him for Josh Green.  He got sideways with Thibs because he didn't play hurt in the playoffs.  I wouldn't read anything into what Detroit is doing.  They just signed Tobias Harris for 25 mil a year.
