Quentin Grimes was discussed by the Knicks in several trade talks: Report…
Quentin Grimes has gone from being the New York Knicks’ keeper to a mere stand-in in the blink of an eye.
According to Michael Scotto of Hoopshype, the Knicks have been making offers to the 23-year-old former first-round choice left and right in an attempt to improve their squad.
According to league insiders who spoke with HoopsHype, “Knicks guard Quentin Grimes, who was previously discussed in Donovan Mitchell trade talks, came up again in separate discussions for Clarkson and Olynyk with the Jazz.”

With a 7-foot wingspan, the 6-foot-6 Griffin has the build of a reliable 3-and-D wing in the future. In his rookie season, he averaged 8.9 points in 19.5 minutes while shooting 39% from outside the arc and 46.5% from the field, demonstrating a lot of promise.

Grimes is no longer in the starting lineup for the Knicks, so they’re attempting to get something back from him before the following season, when he becomes a restricted free agency, ends. This summer, Grimes is eligible for an extension.
Grimes is shooting 35.3% from three point range and scoring 9.4 points on average since the Knicks dealt OG Anunoby for Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett…
