The Dallas Mavericks are trading Tim Hardaway Jr. and draft picks to the Detroit Pistons for Quentin Grimes, providing financial flexibility for the Mavs in free agency. Hardaway, a 14.4 points per game scorer, will join the Pistons, while Grimes, a young shooting guard, moves to the Mavericks.
Hardaway's role had changed during the Mavs' playoffs run, and with one season left on his contract, the trade opens up new opportunities for both players with their respective teams.
