Trade & FA 2024-25:

[mvossman]

Someone above (can't remember who) proposed this literal trade, only with TWO outgoing 1sts. He said it was a perfect match, money-wise (I haven't checked). 

I personally don't think that's enough to get it done, but then again, maybe Jones is trying to force his way out behind the scenes? For the record, I'd be ALL OVER THAT.

Actually that trade was Maxi + Hardy + 2 firsts (unless you are referring to a trade proposal a lot longer ago).  The problem with that trade is (assuming we ever get healthy again) you have a massive minutes crunch and you are sending out a far in the future first.  Grimes potentially provides enough value that you only have to send out the current first (which is getting better by the week).  

I'm a little surprised you are so high on Herb Jones and so down on Thybulle.  They are similar players defensively, and I'm not sure the gap is that massive offensively.  Herb Jones is not much different than Josh Green offensively.  He would definitely be a downgrade from Grimes on that end.
