Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

[cow]

I think I'm out on Grimes. This is never a popular opinion around here, but I stand by it: When players just can't ever find themselves a consistent role and stick with a team for a while...when they just continuously bounce around like Grimes has, there's usually good reason for that. After watching Grimes here in person, and then watching him Philly right after, I feel like HE wants to be a star. More power to him, but I just don't think he's interested in being the connector/defender fans and teams want him to be.

Considering my stance on Herro, this might sound odd, but I like Grimes belief in himself.  I don't know if I agree with the sentiment that he wants to be a star, but I do think he wants to belong and knows that he is a capable scorer.  Wanting to belong might work against us landing him (again), as I'd probably want to do a 2+1 for him.  Unless his contract demands are crazy, which they very well may be, I think he's probably has one of the better value to on-court-impact ratios.
