The Dallas Mavericks kicked off the offseason with a widely praised trade, sending Tim Hardaway Jr. and three second-round picks to the Detroit Pistons for Quentin Grimes.
Grimes, who was previously linked to the Mavs at the last trade deadline, is expected to be a great fit in Dallas due to his defensive skills, shooting ability, and potential.
At just 24 years old, Grimes has a bright future ahead if he continues to develop. However, some Mavs fans were concerned about the knee injury that limited him to just six games for the Pistons after being traded from the New York Knicks.
Quentin Grimes reassured fans that he is “100 percent” healthy
Despite missing most of his time in Detroit due to muscle soreness in his knee, Grimes addressed any concerns about his injury during his introductory press conference, stating that he is “100 percent” healthy. He has been working on his game daily, alleviating any lingering doubts from fans and preparing to contribute at a high level once the regular season begins.
Grimes has the potential to be a significant upgrade from Josh Green next season. His 3-point shooting, defense, and improved passing could make him a fan favorite in Dallas. He is focused on enhancing his playmaking abilities and is committed to being an elite defender.
Taking pride in his defense, Grimes is eager to get to work, drawing comparisons to players like Naji Marshall and Klay Thompson.
