As bad as the Grimes trade is, I could sort of accept it as a maneuver to help with the salary structure. Even then, it turns out Grimes is actually really good and it was a dumb trade. But teams trade better role players away all the time to maneuver around the salary cap and aprons. I get it. But to just throw in a good pick is asinine. I can’t get over the sheer stupidity. Nico must be the biggest dolt anyone has ever met. Was he successful at Nike because of some schmoozing ability? He was kind of effective here when he had Lindsey keeping him in check. Maybe he just needs a lot more oversight — like he can make something happen if given a mission but if he’s the one determining what should happen, you’re screwed. The insanity of his recent moves are just impossible to comprehend.
