New story: The Tim Hardaway Jr. era in Dallas has come to an end.
The #Mavs traded the veteran guard to the #Pistons for 4th-year wing Quentin Grimes.
Grimes is a 3&D player who struggled with injury last season, but he’s a career 37% 3-point shooter.dallasnews.com/sports/maveric… – 11:57 AM

Based on the text I just received, I don’t think my mom was following the Tim Hardaway Jr. situation very closely – 11:48 AM

There’s plenty of trade activity to come, just like Detroit’s deal for Tim Hardaway Jr. that we had to scrap from what was filed last night! More on the shaping offseason landscape @YahooSports: sports.yahoo.com/brandon-ingram… – 11:13 AM

Trade grade for the Grimes/Hardaway swap. It’s a nice move for both teams!

If I were the Pistons I’d kind of rather just YOLO a short-term Klay Thompson offer than take on the Hardaway contract.
Like, if you need shooting and to reach the salary floor might as well sell some tickets while you’re rebuilding. – 10:55 AM

Rock-and-roll! My thoughts on the Hardaway-Grimes trade and the Quickley signing have been posted in our running blogroll on free agency. We’ll be updating this all day:

Time will tell about the value of the trade, but one of Detroit’s biggest issues — in my going on eight years covering the team — is availability.
Hardaway has been available to play. – 10:39 AM

Mavs get done what they have to get done. Tim Hardaway was a good soldier here for 5+ yrs. Hoping he’ll help Detroit get to a much better place. I like Grimes. Had a really good year in NY in 23. Was hurt for much of last season. Still young at 24. In many ways, a younger THJ – 10:32 AM

Dallas now has the flexibility to bring back Derrick Jones to the $12.9M non-tax ML and still remain below the first apron. pic.twitter.com/z2oO4Howpp – 10:31 AM

The Mavericks trading Tim Hardaway Jr. has opened up the non-taxpayer mid-level exception they can use to re-sign Derrick Jones Jr.
Dallas GM Nico Harrison said retaining Jones is their top offseason priority. pic.twitter.com/rUk7769avm – 10:28 AM

Yossi Gozlan @YossiGozlan
The Dallas Mavericks can generate a $16.2 million trade exception for Tim Hardaway Jr. by absorbing Quentin Grimes into a previous trade exception.
However, it’s unlikely to be used if they re-sign Derrick Jones Jr., pushing them up against the $178.7 million first apron. – 10:22 AM

The #Mavs are trading Tim Hardaway Jr. and three second-round picks (2025 and two 2028’s) to the #Pistons for Quentin Grimes, according to a person knowledgeable about the transaction.
The trade was first reported by @wojespn. – 10:21 AM

Sources: The Mavericks trading Tim Hardaway Jr. to the Pistons for Quentin Grimes and three second-round picks, as ESPN reported, was done to get below the first apron and the hope of Dallas using the $12.9 million non-taxpayer mid-level exception to re-sign Derrick Jones Jr. pic.twitter.com/qfrY5fiTPQ – 10:21 AM

In the last 24 hours, the market value for dumping unwanted expiring contracts has been set with multiple future second-round picks:
– Nuggets trade Reggie Jackson and three 2nds to Hornets
– Mavericks trade Tim Hardaway Jr. and three 2nds to Pistons

The Detroit Pistons still project with $50 million in cap space after swapping Quentin Grimes for Tim Hardaway Jr., and acquiring Wendell Moore.
That projection factors in Simone Fontecchio’s cap hold so they can re-sign him after.
Deal can be done on July 6. – 10:11 AM

The Dallas Mavericks are now $14.9 million below the $178.7 million first apron by swapping Tim Hardaway Jr. for Quentin Grimes.
They now open up enough space below the first apron to use the $12.9 million non-taxpayer mid-level to re-sign Derrick Jones Jr. – 10:09 AM

The Mavericks have traded Tim Hardaway Jr. and three second-round picks to the Pistons for Quentin Grimes, per @wojespn.
Detroit offloading Grimes in the deal is surprising, but great value to offload Hardaway’s expiring. pic.twitter.com/bLpsllDsYg – 10:08 AM
