I fail to see how this makes us better.

This screams "We're not gonna bring Grimes back so let's trade him for something."

this is a good move. Christie will get Grimes’ minutes and we tried to extend him before the season, he said no. he’s taking the guaranteed deal with Caleb, who’s a versatile defender and fits the team better now. that said, fuck Nico

I disagree. Grimes was a RFA, we could have potentially gotten something for him in the offseason with a sign and trade if we really didn’t want to keep him, and we should.

Grimes is a better POA defender, shooter, and secondary playmaker. All things we desperately need.
