Trade & FA 2024-25:

[omahen]

* Langdon was the GM that offered Tim 4/88M in '21
* Detroit as an organization have tried to trade for Tim in '15 when he was a Knick. And again last offseason, another rumored trade centered around Tim+ for Bogdanovic.
* Detroit was also among the serious suitors in '21, per multiple reports. 
* Tim is from Michigan and his dad was an assistant coach there.
* Langdon has expressed publicly that he wants to be competitive as early as next year and has been rumored to be interested in some of the bigger names this offseason. Tim can be viewed as a vet that fits in that transition and as an expiring can be another useful piece at the TDL, if needed.
* Buddy Hield (expiring) was traded to the Sixers for Korkmaz, McDermott, '24 SRP, '29 SRP, cash considerations. NOT apples to apples comparison here, plus a TDL deal.. - but as close as one can be to find some type of "value".
* The '25 SRP (TOR) is likely to be in the pick range of 31-39. It's not just a "throw-in" SRP.
* The previous coach and GM that traded for Grimes is no longer there. Mavs have been rumored to have interest in Grimes, per several reports.

My own personal opinion isn't the same as most here... I don't think it will take a FRP "just to get rid of Tim". I think there's a lot of smoke and connections with Detroit and that they might actually view him as a positive on the court and contract wise. Neutral at worst.

Everyone around the league saw how bad THJ played. It will be a horrible start for Langdon if "half" of his cap space would be spent on THJ. His job would very soon be on the line, if THJ delivers same tank commanding performances. 

Even if Langdon absolutely loves THJ, he is not there to do Mavs favors. Very similar players (Trent Jr for example) will be FA, they already have Fournier,...

Sign me in a club that will buy you a couple of beers if Dallas needs to spend just one SRP to dump THJ and get Grimes back.

Edit: if Detroit really wants to become competitive next season, I don't think THJ will be even considered.
