The Detroit Pistons are trading Quentin Grimes to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for veteran forward Tim Hardaway Jr. and three second-round picks, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
New Pistons president Trajan Langdon was very direct and clear about what his offseason priority and plan was as the team entered the offseason with more than $60 million in cap space — add shooting and use the cap space in trades for players who could shoot and net extra draft assets along the way.
The deal is also a sign that the new regime did not have an incredible amount of faith in Grimes, who was a trade deadline acquisition of the Troy Weaver regime in a trade with the Knicks for Bojan Bogdanovic and Alec Burks.
