I would assume if Grimes is being shopped it's because they don't want to pay him what he's worth and if they know he's probably signing elsewhere then trading him would be the best option but that is a bummer because I love watching him play.
If you can get the Maxi we saw last night on a regular basis then I would rather us shop Gafford with those picks for a Herb Jones type and slide Maxi to backup C where he's most effective anyway. Just a lot of relying on his health at that point (as well as him building confidence in his shot back up) which is scary but the defense is better when he's at center than when Gafford's at center if you ask me. Lively + 2022 Playoff Maxi >>>> Lively + 2024 Playoff Gafford but that may be wishful thinking.
