'25 Playoff Rotation Predictions: A Collaborative Deep Dive

[RoyTarpleysGhost]

I guess we will see if it was truly an asset trade.  He is 29, appeared to have peaked several years ago and was underperforming in Philly (not to mention damaged goods).  Grimes is 24, was playing better and the Mavs gave up an asset.  I would put money on Grimes over the next 4 years, but maybe he will end up costing more.

Grimes was not going to sign for the type of money the Mavs can fit in their salary structure.  Max Christie is his replacement.

TBD if Caleb Martin is worth his contract or not.  He has a very movable contract.

I don't think the Mavs chose Caleb Martin as a superior player to Grimes just because those two were traded for each other.
