AROUND the NBA:

Grimes is a star!

Well he may make me eat my words that he is not an 18 point a game scorer on a good/great team. LOL.

I saw that Grant Afseth reporter says Nico has not made any public comments with the Grimes trade.   His lack of comments is a fireable offense.  It is just going to get worse.   The players get the questions after every game.  Does he not understand that the longer he doesn't talk, the worse it will get?   Does he realize that any public interview he does for the rest of his life, the Luka question is going to come up?   

I never saw the polish in his interviews.  Although, after the Lively pick and PJ and Gafford moves.  Heck even adding Grimes, Klay and Marshall this summer, you would hope he was just awkward with the media.    Now with the PR disaster, you realize he just isn't up for the job.

The trade is already a loss for the mavs imo.    Although they need a point person.    If that is not Nico, it needs to be someone else.    The lack of comments is a failure of epic proportions.
