I can see him saying he would not re-sign here no matter what and Nico getting what he could for him. But why give up the valuable 2nd rounder too? That trade made absolute zero sense.
The rumor is his agent asked for the trade, but Grimes said he was surprised to be traded. He was a restricted free agent, so Mavs could match any other offer. He could threaten to take the qualifying offer (very unlikely) but there is no hint he wanted out that badly. As in the Luka trade, Occam's Razor says it was simply GM incompetence.
