Mavs agree to another trade trade by sending Quentin Grimes to 76ers for Caleb Martin after Luka Doncic deal
The Dallas Mavericks aren’t done yet.
After shocking the basketball world by trading Luka Doncic to Los Angeles in a three-team deal on Saturday night, Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison agreed to another deal Tuesday, sending Quentin Grimes and a second-round pick to the Philadelphia 76ers for veteran forward Caleb Martin.
The deal is not official yet, but has been confirmed to DailyMail.com by someone with knowledge of the situation. ESPN’s Shams Charania was the first to report the agreement.
The 76ers and Mavericks are actually preparing to play each other on Tuesday night.
Martin and Grimes were both in their first seasons with new teams, and the former had reportedly turned down more money to return to Miami over the summer so that he could chase a title with the 76ers alongside Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and Paul George.
Martin has averaged 9.1 points and 4.4 rebounds over 31 games for the Sixers this year while providing a versatile defensive presence. Grimes, too, has a good reputation on defense and also provides some scoring punch after averaging 10.2 points over 47 games for the Mavs in 2024-25.
