If that is true, why are we giving up a 24 year old RFA that can put up those numbers, and a high second round pick just to get 9 mil of salary filler? Seems like if that was the goal we should have had an asset coming back, not the other way around.
I just think the Mavs did not want Grimes on a higher salary than 13.3mil a year. They gave him a similar offer to what they gave Josh Green and he turned it down.
My thing is, there are barely any teams this summer with cap space to sign Grimes. Were they really that afraid of some big offer?
Or did they truly just not like the fit? If the latter, it makes me not like Nico even more.
