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.
I didn't misquote anyone. I first responded to (and quoted) "Oh wow, I didn't realize Grimes went for one of the Dallas picks. That's a fun piece of trivia" which I then paraphrased slightly to " "Grimes was actually taken with the Dallas pick" when I noted that Grimes was NOT drafted by a Dallas pick.
Anyhow, regardless of how we got here, Grimes was NOT drafted by one of the picks the Mavs traded for KP.
