We may not win another game this season trade two of our best scorers for a stand in the corner 3&D guy and bums.

Did we trade Burks and Bojan to the knocks and still didn’t get our 1st back??

Amazing. Now the team has how many players adding in Flynn, diacino, Fournier and Grimes.

Got to be another trade incoming!

Grimes. HELL YES.


Yeah honestly it’s not bad.

It just went from amazing to fine IMO.

I would like to see the seconds though- if they’re decent it’s solid.

Burks and Bojan weren’t long term pieces. Sucks to see them go but it makes sense.

I get that people wanted the first back but that was never happening.

No 1st is disappointing. Grimes is another perimeter player that comes to Detroit with an inconsistent jumper. On quick glance his historical FT% numbers don't inspire confidence in rapid improvement.

As a basketball fan I am excited to see these guys on the Knicks. They're looking well-built for the playoffs.

Was there any indication beyond our wishful thinking that Burks/Bojan had that kind of value?

Gross?

The Burks trade is very good.

The Bogey trade is confusing. I think more trades are on the horizon, there's a crapload of players on the roster currently.
We weren't getting any 1sts for these guys, be realistic.

Yeah it’s long gone. We’ve dealt with the Knicks like 3-4 times since they got that pick and still we can’t pry it back. Either the FO doesn’t want it or the Knicks have a crazy price in it.

Should have gotten ONE of NY’s 1sts here. They still have a bunch I’m pretty sure.

Knicks wanted Stewart to give the 1st back. Troy almost pulled the trigger until he realized he traded that same first to get Stew.

The championship race is wide open, surely we could've ate some salary and got a 1st for Bojan.

I am SUPER high on Grimes.

For those who don't know alot about him, he is a terror on defense, amd can hit insanely tough shots, amd is athletic.

He is primed for a breakout. I would have moved both Bojan/Burks for him. The two seconds, amd additional players are the cherry on top.

Grimes is 23 years old. Perfect fit!

Ivey
Grimes
Cade
Ausar
Duren

Grimes+Ausar is going to be amazing on defense. Wow!

You have to look at it as one trade. We got schooled.

People being upset with the Burks trade are baffling me. Just read the Knicks forum, Weaver did well to get Grimes out of this deal.

I figured Burks would get two 2nds tops. Getting Grimes is a very nice surprise.

Imo we traded 2 productive players for some 2nds and Grimes who is OK I guess but is another mediocre shooter and overall negative offensive player. I guess you could say they wouldn't be here next season but on the surface it doesn't really make us better.
