I hope you're right on Grimes. I agree on this year's version of Grimes over Green, but I am not sold on Grimes being starter caliber either, which is why for the same money and given a choice, I'd opt for DFS.

Grimes could improve and change my mind, and I hope he does, but so far I'm not seeing him as a must-keep.

Grimes already proved he was starter caliber in his second year in the league, and he is playing at least at that level now.  Assuming Grimes and Dorian end up costing roughly the same (prolly around MLE) I lean towards Grimes given the age difference.  We don't need a starter right now, but we will eventually need a long term replacement for Klay, and Grimes makes more sense for that role given age.
