Funny enough I have been stanning for Quentin Grimes long before he was even a board member. Every Julius Randle trade had Grimes attached.
Also his career numbers are virtually identical to Nwora´s numbers across the board. Grimes is two years younger and a superior defender though. Unfortunately that ship has sailed the moment the Pistons acquired him. They are not giving him up in RFA and he´ll probably get close that $16M range.
I assume Nwora will have to settle for something around the BAE with potential to earn. It´s about showing him a pathway to his next contract.
Haha, welcome to the Grimes to Mavs fan club.
Is he really someone who the Piston wouldn't give up? They have Cade, Ivey and Ausar for 2G + 1F spot. BBREF tells me Grimes has only played 115 minutes for the Pistons since the trade. They also just lost Bogdan and Burks as their veteran presence. So who knows? They might be interested in trading Grimes + Fonte for the veteran leadership of Tim Hardaway Jr and a FRP. That's what I'm choosing to believe anyway... glass half-full here.
