The idea is that Grimes would handle POA defense (DJJ) and floor spacing (Klay). He is not as good as either at their specialty, but he might be the best combination of the two (especially in a couple of years). Grimes can't take over Kyrie spot. We need a second creator on the floor with Luka, and that's not Grimes.
IMO this is problematic with the way the summer played out...
Dallas does not have a Ky replacement available in the wings (don't want to rehash what should have been with Brunson) and that means they will attempt to find that player with lower draft picks (when they have them) or they will have to find another player to buy low as a PG (that player MIGHT have been Fultz) unless they are baking on Hardy projecting to that role without developmental PT. Call me skeptical on Hardy and all of a sudden I am hoping for a Nelson type draft (Dirk/Nash or Luka/Brunson).
