I like Grimes, but he sort of overlaps with Green and Exum. But, Fournier and Grimes (and hopefully another asset as THJ is the best player in the deal) would give us even more flexibility in the summer. And Fournier used to be in the THJ quality range before Thibs decided to not play him anymore.
But, as others mentioned, NY seems to be interested in Brown.
I agree about the overlap which is why I assumed that if that rumor was true, it probably would have involved Green. Now you have that skill set locked up for the next couple years between Exum and Grimes for less than the price of Green by himself.
Interesting they listed Hardaway as a creator. Wonder if Hardy has any interest to them if they just need some bench points.
Also, the other asset I would be asking for is Sims. Would be a good long term backup to Lively and moves Powell to a break glass in case of emergency role (probably not this season but moving forward).
