A trade of THJ for Grimes makes a lot of sense. DET is a cap space team and has been linked to Tim. Mavs had interest in Grimes. He’ll be extension eligible and due a raise 25-26 season on, but fits the roster age timeline and plays defense. Can shoot the 3.
Turned 24 years old last week. Career 37% 3PT shooter on 5 attempts per game. Vs Tim who’s 32 years old and a career 36% 3PT shooter on 6 attempts per game.
DEFRTG
23-24 Grimes 109.1 | THJ 115.8
22-23 Grimes 114.2 | THJ 114.5
21-22 Grimes 105.0 | THJ 107.7
I wouldn't use DFFRTG to compare players on different teams, but Grimes is clearly a much better defender than Timmy. He is also a distressed asset as he had a really down year. I like this idea a lot. I would throw in a couple of seconds and maybe even Hardy. Another thought would be Grimes for Green straight up. I think that would generate enough room for DJJ and Grimes is a better defender than Green and more willing shooter.
