The Dallas Mavericks agreed to trade Tim Hardaway Jr. to the Detroit Pistons in a cost-cutting move. Hardaway is set to earn $16.2 million next season, while Quentin Grimes will make only $4.3 million. The trade reshapes the rosters of both teams and impacts their 2024-25 salaries.
Hardaway, a solid secondary scorer, came to the Mavericks from the New York Knicks in 2018. Grimes, drafted 25th overall in 2021, brings his scoring and playmaking abilities to the Mavs in this deal.
