According to NBA insider Shams Charania of ESPN, the Philadelphia 76ers are trading Caleb Martin to the Dallas Mavericks for Quentin Grimes.

Martin is averaging 9.1 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists this season while shooting 43.5% from the field, 37.9% from beyond the arc and 62.2% from the free-throw line. He’s making $8.1 million. 

Meanwhile, Grimes is averaging 10.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists while shooting 46.3% overall, 39.8% from 3 and 76.5% from the foul line. He’s making $4.3 million in the final year of his contract. 

The Mavericks traded Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis in what is being called the most shocking deal in NBA history. No one in the league saw it coming. 

“We are thankful for Luka and grateful for his efforts during his time with us,” Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison said. “He helped build this team and was an integral part of the success we’ve seen throughout the years, including our recent NBA Finals run, along with Maxi and Markieff who are veteran voices equally valued across this team.”

“Luka is a one-of-a-kind, young global superstar who will lead this franchise for years to come,” Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka said. “His killer instincts and commitment to winning championships will be a driving force for the team. We will be relentless in building a roster around the on-court vision Coach Redick has for this basketball team and there is an unwavering commitment to that work to serve our loyal and dedicated fans. We are grateful for today and look forward to what’s next.”
