I think it's crystal clear why they cut bait. Reading between the lines, I just have the feeling the way he sees himself and his future role is not how "the league" sees him. I think that's why he and the Mavs couldn't come to an agreement, and I think that's why he doesn't have a deal yet this summer. He'll get one, eventually, but it feels to me like he's wanting a featured role and the salary that comes with it. For those following our 3-4 year Jerami Grant conversation, that's a pretty good comparison. He's trying to get a Grant role and salary, and he's doing so less successfully. I don't believe he's interested in being the player everyone here (including myself, this time last year) want him to be.
Maybe every team in the league learned from the Grant thing and Grimes was hoping they didn't learn.
