They spent a good amount of time talking about Grimes on the latest Hollinger and Duncan.
The conversation started off with something like "how has Grimes' value gotten so low?" They were both so high on him as a player that they were shocked he was gettable for so little, as a secondary goal in a salary dump trade, even.
I think we all assumed that Detroit was just stupid, and these guys aren't shy about criticizing front office people (they're actually a little too dismissive and harsh at times, imo, almost arrogant) but they didn't really go there, despite also having a segment about how terrible the Detroit GM was doing this summer. It was like they thought this trade was SOOOO bad from Detroit's POV that there must be some reason for it. They were saying things like "idk, maybe his knee is fucked." It was super interesting and a little bizarre, honestly.
If he's healthy, both agreed that he's likely to be a super positive addition, but it got me wondering a little. Maybe his injury is worse than we know? Is this more of a reclamation project than the public might perceive it to be?
