Massive Grimes Trade Update – Knicks Guard DEMANDS Trade | NY Knicks News
Quinton Grimes is unhappy with the New York Knicks and because of that it seems like the Knicks are going to be trading him what’s up guys welcome back to Nicks digest it’s Chris here and we’re going to jump right into the video as we always do because as you may have heard
Quinton Grimes is unhappy with the New York Knicks and it seems like the Knicks are going to try to trade him as it was reported by Stefon Bondi Grimes is is frustrated with with the Knicks and his role and the Knicks are actively trying to trade him the Mavericks have interest
And there’s also speculation that Tom Tibido is soured on Quint Grimes for sitting out the last two games in the playoff series against the Cleveland Cavaliers because of a shoulder injury before anything very quickly when it comes down to that with Tom Ido being upset with him just explain this explain
Why in a game when the Knicks were down three to one against the Miami Heat in the next round of the playoffs Grimes played the entire game hurt his knee on the final possession still saved the Knick season by getting a steal but Tom Tibido does not like him but now when
You look at GR minutes now it feels like that’s active that’s like actually true so it’s really complicated I don’t know what tibs is thinking I don’t know why tibs has not cut Josh Hart’s minutes and tried to play Grimes more I don’t know if it’s because the financial thing that
Josh Hart’s just getting paid so much more money or if it’s just because the Grimes is just not tips’s biggest fan or something I’m not really sure Grim should be playing more he’s been playing better than Josh hard but for some reason the guy who most represents OG on
An obi’s game is not replacing OG on an Obi in lineups when he really should be because when looking at it it will give OG a break OG should not be playing over 40 minutes per game in the middle of the NBA season that doesn’t make sense tibs
Is going to burn him out if he does that it’s my biggest problem with tibs is that he overplays his guys I understand once playoffs happen it’s it’s a completely different ball game but in the regular season we have to chill with the minutes that we’re playing ogj
Brunson and Randall it’s way too much I understand right now the Nicks roster is a little weird because there’s less shot creation without RJR IQ it doesn’t matter you need to figure something out and it’s going to have to be via trade and now it feels like whatever trade
Happens Grimes could very likely be involved if you look here according to Michael a scado the Knicks are dangling Quinton Grimes Evan forier and draft compensation for a potential upgrade whether that’s a guard who could sort of take over some Brunson minutes which is really what it feels like it could most
Likely be but also there’s a chance that nck will be looking at other guys such as power forwards to back up Randall and just maybe add some more size to this lineup because precious suchu is not really getting it done Mitch is apparently coming back but it’s not
Fully clear what is clear is that Grimes isn’t happy Grimes is upset with his role rightfully so the man was a starter last year he started on the Knicks playoff team he gets benched because basically tibs kept pulling him and Grimes couldn’t get shots up and now
Grimes can find his way back into the starting lineup now given ogan anobi belongs there he’s probably without Mitch being here the Nick’s third best player and then D venzo has been electric when it comes to shooting the thing is Grimes is still not really thrilled he’s playing the least amount
Of minutes of anyone in the Knicks rotation despite the fact that Duce McBride has been newly into the Knicks rotation he’s getting way more minutes than Quinton Grimes all of a sudden and that doesn’t really make much sense it feels like Grimes is a better shot
Creator and also it feels as if the are viewing Duce McBride is more of an undersized combo guard more of a two guard than a point guard so if the Knicks are going to trade for a guard anyway why are they not playing Grimes more minutes than McBride like Grimes
And McBride are very similar when it comes to defense and Grimes is probably a better offensive player I mean he’s a better shooter he can create his own shot he can drive to the paint he’s more confident Grimes should be playing more and also neither of them are really a
Great playmaker so it’s not like that’s a good reasoning I don’t understand what’s with the lack of Quinton Grimes on the Knicks court and I don’t really like it especially because it’s the regular season it’s okay to play multiple guys on your bench over 20 minutes per night not just go with Josh
Hart and Duce McBride and be and then be like nope no more that’s the only two guys we’re ever going to play over 20 minutes a night on the bench it’s the regular season who gives a [ __ ] and I just curs because I’m pissed at tips look here’s the deal like I don’t
Understand what the problem is and why the Knicks can’t just play some of their bench guys a little bit more I understand that they don’t have a lot of shot creation that without or Brunson on the court especially Brunson the Knicks offense stagnates and you’re going to need to
Make a trade to fix that do you have to give up Quinton Grimes I don’t think so I think you could probably get someone using Evan for’s expiring deal alone especially because what the Knicks want is someone who’s going to be under contract for the 2425 season so over the
Summer they could use the tradeable contract to make a trade for a star the Knicks seem hellbent on making a trade for a star within the next year from now probably over the summer now I know this happens every year I know this comes up every season that the Knicks are
Probably going to trade for a star and us as media companies we jump on it because he gets his clicks or whatever here’s the deal it really feels like it’s always been that Leon Rose is going to get a superstar to the Knicks who’s already an established name the current
Knicks team that they have is the type of team that star players go to because they really do feel like they’re one Superstar where from getting over the hump and just being able to contend with any single team in the NBA the Knicks are one of the best teams in the league
Let’s be real like let’s really be honest right now outside of the 76ers who are shady in the playoffs because of embiid’s Health the buckss who have no defense in their back court and the Celtics who are really reliant on that starting lineup staying healthy there’s not that much
Talent in the Eastern Conference yeah the Pacers just got a lot better with Pascal SE yakum are they going to go to the NBA finals or are they better than the Knicks I don’t really think so I think it’s close between the two teams but they’ve never really been there
Outside of seah hakam now they Bruce Brown’s on the Raptors it really doesn’t feel like what’s going to happen next is the Knicks are going to make some move for or that the Pacers are going to make some huge jump up the lineup or up the standings especially if the Knicks makes
Some move for a star player because then I’ll just put them right over the Pacers once again that doesn’t really leave too many NBA teams I mean the heat maybe but the Knicks are already really good as it is if one Superstar player who wants out
Is thinking hey I want to leave the Knicks are a huge Market they could use a star like myself maybe I’ll go to the New York Knicks they have assets they could trade for me they wouldn’t got their roster me jayen Brunson Julius Randall Mitchell Robinson Dante D venzo
OG on anobi that’s a nice team we could win a championship there we can win a championship in New York I’ll become crazy famous and make a boatload of money that is really what the Knicks have done is make themselves an ideal market for a superstar player the
Question is who that Superstar is and that’s not going to be answered until the summer we don’t know who’s going to want out because we don’t know how the playoffs are going to play out and that’s what it’s based off of what we do know is that Grimes is severely unhappy
If you look here on MLK Day Duce McBride committed a turnover one that didn’t appear to involve Quinton Grimes and tibs reacted by summoning Julius Randle to replace Grimes and clearly frustrated after just playing a four-minute shift Grimes ran past the Nick’s bench and beelined into the garden tunnel replays showed Grimes
Returning around a minute later and sitting near near the end of the bench where he sat for the rest of the 9894 loss when he really should have been in the game because the Knicks desperately needed shooting but nope not what tibs did because tibs don’t
Care he don’t care he’s going to force the ball as an ISO to Julius Randall or Jaylen Brunson every time at the end of the game and that’s just what we’re going to live with is it going to work sometimes usually with Brunson because randle’s not a great isolation player
Especially when he’s the first option on a team because everyone knows they’re going to try to have Randle force a basket anyway so it’s pretty easy to stop not like tib is going to drop a play though that’s not going to happen he’s also not going to let any of his
Assists and coaches drop a Play No Sir now if we continue looking as you saw Grimes played 48 minutes so is it true that tibs dislikes Grimes I don’t think so I think tibs is just he likes who he likes he plays the starting lineup over everything else and if
Grimes is in that starting lineup he’ll have this 48 minutes game but the Knicks have been taking calls on them and what Ian Begley had to say is the Knicks are seeking another ball handler SL playmaker to bolster their offense they lost some playmaking when they moved quickly and Barrett to
Acquire OG they’re also looking at other positions but ball handler playmaker is their focus and as I mentioned earlier they’re looking for players under 24 25 partially because they can include that player in an offseason trade but they’re not solely focused on players under that contract the club has at least one
Player on an expiring deal on its radar at the deadline I will be so honest I have no idea who the hell that is I could not tell you at all no clue no clue no clue who this mystery player is we know they’re looking at at uh
Brockton we know they’re looking at Terry roir I don’t know who else they’re looking at Deon Murray is obviously not an expiring player and doesn’t fall under that category because he’s much better I don’t know who this guy is I’m not going to sit here and pretend like I do
And I am curious to why they’d be interested in him it would almost certainly be a fit thing and I’m not sure if it’s an expiring deal I I should know this and I don’t I know Bruce Brown signed that two-year deal with the Pacers but I
Think there’s an option I’m not sure if it’s a player or a club option but maybe it’s him I also don’t really think so but here is what this could mean if they’re looking at this expiring player whoever it may be they might dangle Josh Hart as trade bait
Next using that tradable contract that is all I’m going to say on that really because that’s all that we know but they might be thinking okay if we trade forier for a different expiring contract who we can play and he can help us win games this season we can always just
Move Josh hard in the offseason will Jaylen Brunson be upset yeah is he going to storm out and leave the New York Knicks because they traded Josh Hart to get better prob probably not Brunson understands it’s a business his dad played in the NBA he gets it he’ll be
Fine that is really what I’m thinking there could be the answer to all of this but also if we just continue on with the unlikelihood of a blockbuster deal materializing until the summer the Knicks according to teams negotiating with New York are focused on acquiring a ball handler McBride’s viewed is more of
An undersized two guard and a big man because among other reasons Mitchell Robinson’s future is kind of ambiguous because the injuries and you never know what could happen he’s not Untouchable and there’s also a willingness to take on multi-year deals that could be packaged in a later Blockbuster as we
Know and the Mavs have interest in Grimes the Hawks who are also position to be active before the trade deadline would be a strong fit if they trade de Jon Murray there’s no shortage of teams looking for a plug and play three and D wi obviously Quinton Grimes would fit
Real nice next to Trey young and jayen Johnson so I think he would be the centerpiece of a Deonte maray trade obviously it would cost first rounders also Evan for’s contract it does kind of put into question can the Knicks make another blockbuster trade and that the
Answer is only if you then move to jonay Murray again over the summer along with other picks for a star player if you want to do that that makes sense but I don’t think Deon Murray is the long-term man I’ve talked about this a lot I just
Don’t trust the shooting or whatever I’m not going to go into it again this video but really what it is is that the Knicks are looking at someone who’s an expiring deal but mostly just trying to get someone so they could make a big trade it feels like they’re really targeting like the
24 25 season of we are contending for a finals that year we just made the second round in 2223 we want to get back there in 23 24 which is very possible after that we’ve been in the playoffs for a little bit we make a move we show teams
We’re legit we get a star player we contend for the NBA finals that is certainly what Leon Rose’s master plan is at the moment and it really is the only direction that Knicks can go and they’ve traded all their young players and are going to add Grimes to that list of
Young players traded now within a year probably Obi top and RJ Barrett Emanuel quickly Quinton Grimes will all be traded off the Knicks those were the four Knicks of the future not too long ago we did a 180 and now the Knicks are going to start contending soon hopefully

Grimes needs to step up. His job is to make it difficult for Thibs to take him out of the game.
Murray is the obvious two-way upgrade but it sounds like Hawks want Grimes, Fournier’s expiring and TWO firsts while the Knicks are only willing to include ONE first. Let’s see if Leon can get the deal done.
If he can’t land Murray, go get Sexton and Olynyk or make two trades: 1) Brogdon (Fournier and pick) and 2) Cam Whitmore (Grimes) as a rookie scale development piece behind OG and Randle. Rockets love to see the return of a POA defensive stopper and 40% three point shooter who played his college in Houston.
Grimes should be getting more minutes. Thibs needs to wake up
This is the issue IQ was more valuable to the Knicks than Grime. Now they've to use Grime to get a replacement for IQ.
Grime is not a point guard not a great shooter good defender not a play maker.
Jacob Topping & Simms should get some playing time as well. Stop burning those starters by playing too much minutes
I blame Tibs
Thibs is a Control Freak I had enough
Truth will be out soon…last nite I watch OG draining with Sweat dead tired
The Knicks need play makers and a skilled backup 4 or 5.
Derozan. Dejounte. Brogdon. Clarkson. Bruce Brown. Rozier on the list
Cwc- I'm going too make it short, thibs is a$$- 🕳️
Grimes doesn’t have the clout or talent to demand a trade.
How many young players has Thibs alienated and diminished the trade value of by not playing them. Too many
Tib just don't care about youth development other than rose.
We do not need to get rid of Grimes. What we should do is trade Evan Fournier and a couple of first round picks for Mikal Bridges or DeMar DeRozan 🔶️🔷️🏀🗽
I’m not sure I believe this report
Tibbs is burning out OG like he did Luol Deng He needs to stop doing that.And Grimes needs to be involved in an All-Star or superstar trade it better not be for another role player. And if Murray is the guy that they go with he’ll have more value when we trade him in the 2025 all season like you said, I don’t think he’ll be long-term either. But it works out because Grimes fits in Atlanta, unless he gets into it with Trae Young, which is a possibility And Murray for the short term can work until we find something better. The only problem with trading him short-term is that rich Paul has ammo to say how we treat July ch clients in comparison to CAA clientss even though it was just business, but that’s the narrative that that he could put out there
It's official due to recent reported phone calls by Desean Watson, Ime Udoka, and UGK that Grimes can't come to the parlors but is welcome home.
We all are pissed off with Tibs but when given the opportunity to solidify playing time in the starting rotation, Grimes was dreadful. Trade him.
LOOK I DOINT UNDERSTAND WHAT THE KNICKS ARE DOING TRADING ALL THERE YOUNG PEOPLE
Where's SIMS??? Why is the jumpman on the bench, while Precious can't even catch a lob. Come on!
Yes he do if he isn't get no playing time,he has a right to ask for a trade thib got to go we are lossing all our youth
Funny thib doesn't like you get trade even if you don't do anything, this is wronge
Gonna be Embiid in the offseason don’t see Philly getting passed the 2nd round
Before thibs came to ny we have a very athletic very versatile bench we can match up with anyone now I do no
Demar derozen !!!!!!
ANOTHER KNICKS and RAPTORS TRADE
What do you think of this trade? Bruce Brown is a recently traded player so he has to be traded as a stand alone offer.
He could serve as the Knicks back-up PG, provide further solid defense and decent bench shooting.
Quentin Grimes is a talented young guard that fits the Scottie Barnes (BBQ) timeline into the Raptors future.
