The Dallas Mavericks have traded Tim Hardaway Jr. and three second-round picks, including a 2025 second via Toronto and two 2028 seconds, to the Detroit Pistons in exchange for Quentin Grimes. This move allows Dallas to get below the first apron and potentially use the $12.9 million non-taxpayer mid-level exception to re-sign Derrick Jones Jr. The trade also provides Detroit with additional cap space, bringing their total to nearly $50 million. Grimes had previously drawn interest from the Atlanta Hawks and Miami Heat before being traded to Dallas. The Mavericks believe Grimes will be a good fit alongside Luka Doncic, despite his recent shooting struggles.
Great deal for Dallas, completely inexplicable for Detroit https://t.co/IIdJ9YvKC0

I think I'd rather just take the flyer that Grimes bounces back to his second-year level? That's a nice bet for Dallas, in my opinion. https://t.co/0lBcMhZhg3
Detroit and Dallas have now agreed on the trade laid out here Tuesday … with the Mavericks agreeing to send three future second-round picks to the Pistons to make Tim Hardaway Jr. a Piston and also acquire Quentin Grimes. More NBA from me: https://t.co/A6ycVmnrjq https://t.co/Rfxtpzh7Ot
Can’t overstate how ideal a fit Quentin Grimes is with Luka Doncic. He struggled with his shot for a bit in Detroit but I’d be shocked if this move doesn’t rejuvenate his value. Huge fleece by Dallas. Absolutely no clue what Detroit is doing. They want…less shooting and defense? https://t.co/S3Sdo9PwE3

Grimes fits what Dallas has been looking to add. Defense will have to be at a certain level, shot has to return, mix in driving closeouts. Team just kind of shifted on THJ. https://t.co/Sh0bwUnewo
