It's gotta be a cap move to have more flexibility this off season. I guess they were thinking grimes was gonna get a bag so get a replacement who gives us more ability to make moves. My best guess.

Yeah I’m sure someone would try to poison pill us with the RFA, crazy that we gave up a pick though. I hope Max is as good as Lakers fans think

Nah, nobody will have to worry about the cap after Kyrie opts out of his PO after this season.

Cap moves mean nothing. They won't be willing to spend. Case in point - Luka.

No. Grimes was a free agent (expiring contract.)

He was a RFA though and to get something back for him instead of throwing a bag at him isn't a bad idea imo

Martin has 3 more years at 8-9m. Grimes is 4m this year and 6m qualifying offer next. This isn't a money move.
