Activate Mavs man. Perot Jr ownership wanted to do that.

WHY DID DALLAS TRADE THIS MAN?! (VIA @realapp_) pic.twitter.com/PvTkOsapvX
How's Caleb Martin doing? Win now guy.
Am I seeing this right? ESPN says Martin has played in five games and has 23 points across those five games. In one game, Grimes has had double the amount of points as Martin in his entire Mavericks tenure? Is that correct?
F *ck Nico
Yep! Almost as if Grimes is the better player! Lol and we still gave them a draft pick
It's truly unbelievable. That trade (and the fact we have them a draft pick) is so mind numbingly dumb. We all called it at the time it happened and it's gotten even worse since then.
It's also yet another example of how Kidd refuses to play young guys.
I'm happy for grimes though. He is making himself from money and Kidd didn't really let him shine here for some reason.

Grimes has been given complete control of a team that is not trying to win games.
The Mavs were not going to be able to re-sign him. Even if he were doing this same stuff on the Mavs, he would be offered too much money in the offseason for the Mavs to match. And there is reporting he didn't want to be here anymore.
So instead of letting him walk for nothing, they got a guy who has been the 3rd best player on a finals team who is under contract for 3 more years at a very reasonable price. It's called being prudent.
I know that all yall know that already, and you just want to be mad and shout in to the void to make yourselves feel better or something.

He's restricted. If they let him walk for nothing, then it would be by choice. They let it get here over $3-4 mill per. And threw in what will be a high 2nd rounder to boot.
The reporting that "he didn't want to be here anymore" is bullsh. Grimes has said as much. The mavs spent the month of February leaking bullsh to try to spin both trades.

But we would not have been able to match anything close to $10 million because we are hard capped and right up against the 2nd apron. Same reason we aren't able to sign 10 day guys to just have bodies on the team. We would not have been able to match whatever he was going to get in FA, especially if he was doing this same stuff here.
Add on to that the reporting that he didn't want to be here and you don't re-sign guys who don't want to be on your team. You trade them for what you can get.

Major missed evaluation. They would have been better off with that 2nd rounder. They have worked hard to pretty much get nothing for him anyway. And there are ways to free up money for 2025-26 but it starts with being able to evaluate your talent properly
I was one of the ones saying Grimes needed more PT early on also. Kidd didn't really like him for some reason. He is a little Josh Green YOLO-ish at times. He's getting his chance to put up meaningless numbers for a team that is trying really hard to lose games. They have to be in the top 6 of the draft to keep their pick and they are currently 6th worst record and a game out of 7th worst. Grimes is going to get paid in the offseason, probably by another bad team. Good for him.
Sure Martin has been hurt, but he's a proven player that has proven he is, at minimum a playoff rotation guy, and at his best he was the 3rd best player on a finals team. We also got another 2nd back in the deal, not like those are worth that much anyway. We did not get nothing back. We got really good control of a guy who has proven he is a player worth having on your team.

Yep we were able to get off Davis ****ing Bertans wh was making like 12-16 million. There are ways we could've gotten off some money to pay grimes, a young player with tons of upside. We could've used that second rounder to do so.
And I agree that letting him walk and keeping the second rounder would be better than what we did.
