Oh yeah, and give us a first for the trouble.“

If you guys think that was what they were trying to accomplish…yikes.

Marc Stein- BRK wants at least 1 first rounder for DFS. Mavs haven't been in it.

Plus, it just feels weird to be moving pieces around. I could’ve just as easily been different in the Irving trade. That’s kind of weirding me out. Anyone else? I don’t think I can remember an example of something like that happening, where a team makes a huge blockbuster trade and then trades for their pieces back the following year at a cheap price. I’m just not sure I would let that happen if I were in Brooklyn. Even if I had to sell those guys that cheaply, I think I might have a problem with them going to Dallas.

This season Green is clearly ahead. Grimes lost some minutes after the Knicks added DiVincenzo and just like Green in the past he is struggling when he isn't getting consistent minutes.
Not sure about the defense. I think Grimes is better on ball. Certainly when it comes to screens. But Green plays a little bit bigger and contributes on the boards.

What is THJ worth then?

The Buddy Hield to PHI deal impacts market for NYK target Alec Burks. PHI and DET had talked about package including Marcus Morris and 2nd round picks for deal that would've sent Burks back to PHI. Per @wojespn, PHI is sending Morris, Korkmaz & three 2nd rounders to IND for Hield
