Plus, I kind of think he should've viewed that extension offer as a lifeline back to a career. The fact that he didn't...I think we might be starting to catch a glimpse of why he's bounced around. He's obviously not at Christian Wood level, but when three teams in three years get rid of you, there's usually fire under that smoke.
This move, along with the Max Christie thing, leads me to believe they want LONG defenders on the court all the time and fwiw, I don't hate that part of this plan.
I don’t like watching Martin, but I’m just looking at data. The advanced stats say Grimes is better. My eyes do too. The Martin contract is “cost controlled” but still inflated and will be a drag. Martin’s not needed. I’d rather have just let Grimes walk than this. And adding a 2nd? That’s nuts to me.
