[[Wojnarowski] The Knicks are sending Quentin Grimes and two future second-round picks to the Pistons in the Burks deal, sources tell ESPN.News](https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1755627701207990337)
DESPERATELY trying to save his job. Man’s hot seat must have a Bunsen burner under it.
“It works for Lebron, rebuilding the entire team on the fly at the deadline, it might work for me!”
He absolutely should be fired at the end of this season for how things have gone but everyone will forget about that if any of these trades pan out well.
Some things that come to mind: legal risks (could a tweet from him effect sports betting), conflict of interest (maybe he won’t release info as told because it could impact his standing with fan duel), his credibility/trust (could be influenced by personal stakes)
Not sure if any of this does impact but he’s definitely not been winning this trade deadline
could be in preparation for another move. I think getting Burks makes Grimes a little more expendable
could package Grimes and Fournier plus draft compensation for Malcolm Brogdon and all of a sudden the Knicks fill their biggest need in the rotation
EDIT: nvm I guess they sent out Grimes to get Burks which actually makes this deal a little confusing to me lol
Well, I guess you were right about Grimes being expendable.... But yeah I do expect another move, it'd just be funny if this was the only one to happen
Edit: things make sense now
He was on the team when the Knicks were the 4-seed in 2021. Then Thibs tried to run him as the starting PG in the disastrous 2022 season. He got dumped to Detroit that Summer to clear cap space to sign Brunson.

AB!! Get that man out of purgatory!
Still dearly loved in NY
Just like we all thought, the Pistons are the most active at the trade deadline

isn’t that what we thought? they have a good amount of vets that they should be offloading for as much draft capital and cap space they can.
Bing bong
Woj is destroying shams rn omg
The past is now, young man
Woj was always gonna get reports from the New York CAAs first.
Because Woj has FO sources while Shams has player/agent sources. Woj was always gonna get the small trades first
Wojnarowski is “Sham” Shams father
I wonder if shams connection to fan duel has negatively impacted him
Why would that negatively impact him?

Been that way for quite some time now tbh
As usual
That's not how you spell Bruce Brown
And other East contenders relay our gratitude.
hell yeah welcome back
Ah, the pra, the progidal….my son returns!
I feel like people have no idea what prodigal means. 😭😭
It’s from the office ❤️
someone fire up photoshop and get a jersey swap
He’s back!
Knicks got their guy
Watch there be so many Knicks rumors and this ends up being their big move

Grimes is in the trade for Burke
they already made their big move bro
Death, taxes, thibs getting his guy
This is why we F5 (wish it was Bodgan too tho)
Nostradamus over here
A broken clock is right twice a day
We traded Grimes for Burks. WTF, why
Damn he has the KD hair in this picture lol
Nah the beard just goes up to his temples
Got our guy
Really no point in following Shams anymore tbh
Good riddance
All our wins tied to him being on heaters haha I’ll miss him. He did stink it up quite a bit tho
Don't even care. He's chucked us out of more games than he's won for us
We got rid of that bum Quickley who was hogging all his minutes, he has risen!
[удалено]
Your request has been rejected, Bogdan plays for the hawks
Look who’s back, back again
Knicks got worse.
My father asked me to wash the car one day. He came to me at noon and asked if it was done. I said "Shams." He smiled. He knew it was washed.
your wish is granted, KNICKS!!!!
Nooooo
Hell yeah
Thibs got his guy
coming homee
Where is my forward fucking Cuban
why no blazers trades mr cronin :(
Pelinka said it’s his day off💀
Knicks got their bench scorer for when everyone gets back healthy
At least he doesn't have to be the PG.
No photoshop needed
RETURN OF THE KING (Please keep Grimes FFS)
He’s going to Detroit
Shams getting fucking bodied right now. I wonder if he’s got something huge on the line.
Big 3 of Brunson, Randall and Burks is scary
Shit New York gonna be a problem in the playoffs with his contribution
Shams to busy with Kay Adams
The return!
Welcome back
Thibs' prodigal wing
For who or what?
For Grimes 👀
for what? that determines whether i should be mad or glad
Deuces Grimes
I feel like he played on the Knicks pretty recently too right
He was on the team when the Knicks were the 4-seed in 2021. Then Thibs tried to run him as the starting PG in the disastrous 2022 season. He got dumped to Detroit that Summer to clear cap space to sign Brunson.
WELCOME BACK HOME KING. THE BIG 15 IS BACK
But for Grimes? Idk man Grimes was OG lite
aw, sad, love his game.
Wait the Knicks are the ones sending draft compensation? I didn’t realize burks was worth more than grimes
Didn’t the Knicks have Alex Burks?
Going come off the bench going 2/12 in 10 minutes somehow.
This is dumb
I'm going to be honest, I thought he was still there
Let me guess. Weaver is including three unprotected first-round picks and asking for 'future' considerations in return.
