Giddey would be nice in theory, but 4-120? For a pass first PG/PF Aussie who can't really shoot (yes he made improvements last year but needs to do it again before it's real)?
If Grimes takes the QO, then they can't trade him which would cost you a huge benefit of re-signing him to a fair offer.
Sending out an S&T and taking no salary back does not hard cap you.
Of course, you have to find a team with an exception that fits the salary Grimes wants and one he will go to and who is willing to give up a pick or two.
And I don't think they are looking at Grimes as an asset in the sense of trading. Just like they didn't trade Yabusele. They simply want him to help them compete this year.
) own 2 picks each in the first round of '26... any ideas of what we could trade to get one of them???
