What happens though if Grimes plays well or not, but just doesn’t impact defense enough? Same with Marshall. Could Thybulle be an option then? What would Portland want? Would an expiring Grimes plus second round picks work?
Maybe we never get to that point but I think it is something to store away if the defense takes a step back throughout the season
You‘re basically saying what I meant in my take - there‘s some „ifs“ in there, but my guess is that we‘ll look into Thybulle if our perimeter and point of attack defense needs a shot in the arm in January. So we‘ll see if we have a chance of saying „told you so!“ at the trade deadline. The hope is that Grimes and Marshall play that well and steady that we won‘t miss DJJ and his role at all, of course.
I‘m not sure we‘d go after DFS for the same role, he‘d be more likely to shore up the backup 4 spot in case Maxi won’t last.
