I don't see DFS as a direct replacement for Grimes by any means and I do agree they play different roles.
We'd certainly have to find Grimes' replacement, but DFS does have the ability to guard multiple positions and could for instance, allow Klay to slip down to play more at the 2.
That's why I say he would be some insurance if we lost Grimes because it will be difficult to find someone as productive as Grimes for that small of a salary. It's really more about having another playable vet off the bench.
DFS would present somewhat of a problem with the development of OMax though because they are basically the same type of players. That would be the one reason I wouldn't want to bring DFS in now, but OMax simply isn't ready to be in the rotation of championship caliber team in the POs.
