As others have already said, I think calling Grimes abysmal is a bit of grandiose language. He was solid on NYK last year before being traded to DET. Donte outplayed him and injuries limited him.
There was a time 2 years ago where Grimes was the main piece that NYK was dangling for a potential blockbuster trade.
DET he wasn't great, but there could be a lot of reasons for that. Was he injured? Did he not want to be in DET at all? Was it more because the team itself was a cesspool and hard to acclimate in?
I'm really high on Grimes as long as he remains healthy.
