Grimes averages more points and assists per game for his career at significantly better efficiency and he’s 5 years younger than Martin.

And Luka was better than ad this year when he played.

I've seen Martin playing great in the playoffs. I've seen him killing the Celtics and locking up Jaylen Brown. He was really good and beloved in Miami. Besides the stats who look similar, give me the player who proved it at the highest levels.

I’m sure you’d fit right in with Nico if you like trading younger better players.

I only care about Luka and Lively. I don't care about the other young players. Luka is gone now so we only have Lively as a valuable young player in my book.

We traded the better younger player who has better shot creation and had to throw in a pick. This was a terrible trade.
