Should be on the Rocketsā¦ Damn it!
Would have been nice, but in some ways itās better that heās on the Knicks. Knicks and Lakers probably get the most media attention in the league, so all of Grimesā success there is getting blasted around the country and recruits will be noticing.
Iād settle for just the best players in Houston staying homeā¦

KNICKS ARE HIGH ON GRIMES
Prior to Thursdayās deal, the Knicks and Hawks had discussed a trade that included Reddish for Grimes and a 2022 first-round pick, per sources familiar with Reddishās situation.
Atlanta wanted Grimes, the Knicksā 2022 first-round pick. Some Knicks decision-makers were opposed to dealing Grimes. I donāt know how far those talks advanced, but the Knicks were ultimately opposed to including Grimes in the deal. Grimes has shown in his rookie season that heās a capable shooter and defender.
Based on the events of the last few days, itās clear that Grimes has fans in high places within the Knicks organization.
" To his credit, rookie Quentin Grimes took the tough assignment in the fourth quarter and tried his best, but Bridges kept hitting circus shots anyway. Sometimes itās just your day."
The things he was praising Grimes for is straight CKS UH culture. Quentin owes his career to CKS.
Nice write up on Grimes in the Athletic.

" How have you seen Quentin Grimes develop since the start of the season?
Grimesā defense has hit another level since autumn. He understands the speed of the pro game in a way he didnāt when he first startedā¦(more in article) If you want a positive Knicks storyline, Grimesā development certainly qualifies."
āThe bench got the Knicks back into the game behind the play of Quentin Grimes (12 points) and Obi Toppin (13 points). Grimes, who was superb, was allow to finish the game out,ā
"Here is what Thibodeau had to say about Grimes after the Knicksā loss in Cleveland:
āFor a young guy to come in the league, heās not perfect but he plays hard on every possession. And thereās a physicality to him, thereās a toughness to him. Those things are important, a competitiveness. So thereās a multiple effort (habit), thatās ingrained in him. He takes the right shots. Thatās important. Thatās a big part of winning. So we need toughness, we need toughness.ā
Grimes, youāll remember, was coveted by Atlanta in the Reddish trade. New York ultimately decided that Grimes was untouchable in that deal.
So it seems like you can pencil Grimes into the rotation moving forward.
Heās earned the role. He plays with energy, provides capable point-of-attack defense and can knock shots down."

if you go on social media right now there are tons of fans calling for grimes to startā¦ they put him in the game down by a ton, and he lead them back to almost winning (lost by 2)ā¦he had a +21 +/- , went 4/6 from 3 and put the clamps on darius garland when he was in
He clamped Garland up big time
Reading through this thread on the Knicks subreddit made me smile. Good for Grimes.
Maybe Coach Tibedeau will read reddit. 
Phucking Rockets blew it again like they did with Rashard Lewis. Iāll never forgive the Rockets for not drafting Lewis.
Itās like Brooks, all the performances on the floor make it obvious to apparently everyone except the coach and GM that he should be playing much more If not starting. As if he hasnāt earned it already.
Itās called the Keenum syndrome. Geez.
You donāt draft a guy just because he is local. They made a decision to go in another direction just like a lot of other teams did. Grimes looks to be on his way to a very good NBA career and I am happy for him and program.
Christopher is a little earlier in his development and has also shown some promise.
You can tell a lot about players in the tourneyā¦ Thatās why I wanted Mobley and Grimesā¦ But, oh wellā¦
Hopefully, Jalen Green proves me wrongā¦
By the same token, you donāt NOT draft a guy because heās local either.
