TRADE: THJ+3 2nds to DET | Grimes to DAL

[Scott41theMavs]

I don't know enough about Grimes to form an opinion, I have my doubts, but him becoming a rotational player for several years is the only thing that will save THJ botched contract negotiation.

So let see.  If Grimes doesn't resign here or if the Mavs don't recuperate their assests by trading him or Josh this will be a big failure.

You're kind of missing the point that the old front office that made that mistake is gone. It's an apples and oranges discussion. You're acting as if the old FO's mistake is something to hang around the new FO's neck in terms of guilt right now, when nah. If it comes out later that the Mavs could have done something better, then that - not anything that the old FO did in botching a contract negotiation - if something to beat up Nico and co. with. 

Moreover, once again, the goal is to have room to sign DJJ. If they get DJJ, then that makes the trade a win.
