For comparative purposes, MLE is expected to be 14.1M.
It's very early, but the player we are seeing so far sure doesn't look like an MLE-value player. Or 8.33M value, either, imo. He looks more like "an undesirable contract you have to take in return if you want us to take THJ's salary."
You were definitely closer to what the Mavs actually offered. But lets see what Grimes actually signs for at the end of the season. I believe it's going to be closer to that MLE value than you think.
Once he gets his chance, I really think Grimes will prove to be invaluable to the team.
