I’m guessing Grimes is on the move. Christie is cost controlled and sounds like a direct replacement for some of what Grimes provides.

Yeah probably.   Although moving Gafford right now may not be ideal with Lively hurt and AD dinged.    Weird mix and match.   AD can play 4, but is best as a closing 5.   Lively is our present and future closing five.   PJ is ideal for a PF with this team.  Less so as a starting 3.   

Mavs are in a tricky spot though.  Old, expensive and limited draft picks.   Just great.   There needs to be another move though.    Although it just really doesn't impact our future.   Even if this team gells and wins a series (doubtful), you just know there will be a lot of painful years ahead.
