If we are going down the semantics rathole, you should probably at least make an accurate quote. The actual statement was "the best player the Nicks got with those picks (Grimes)", which is technically correct as they got Grimes with those picks (via trade). You can make the argument that I should have probably pointed out that it was via trade to begin with, and I actually clarified that in a response to Killer's post before this rathole got started.
