Assuming there will be no TDL trades, I agree it will be Grimes. I don't think Exum is much better creator than Grimes anyway and he is (mostly) reluctant to shoot or do much on offense. At least he was a complete non factor on offense in the playoffs. Grimes has a quick trigger and I also believe he will remember how to shoot. Two more players will seem to be in the playoff rotation - SD and Maxi.

We mostly thought Kidd will stagger Luka-Kyrie-Klay to have two of them on the floor at the same time. If I am not mistaken, he currently staggers Luka, Kyre and SD to have two creators on the floor at all times. Might be this is just an early season test in finding things that work best, but as of now it is like this.

I originally liked the Dinwiddie signing, but at the moment I am leaning towards Killer's thinking that he is just taking away developmental/adjustment minutes from Grimes and Hardy.  Hopefully Naji can take over the third playmaking role and Din can fall further down the depth chart.
