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.
I'm not reading to his time into Detroit at all, nobody gets better when they get traded to Detroit. That's gotta be one of the most depressing feelings as an athlete (unless you're THJ and can jack up as many shots as you want without consequence now).
