The Dallas Mavericks are trading Tim Hardaway Jr. and three second-round draft picks to the Detroit Pistons for Quentin Grimes, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press.
Trading Hardaway provides some financial flexibility in free agency for general manager Nico Harrison. The 32-year-old Hardaway is owed $16.2 million next season, while the 24-year-old Grimes is due $4.3 million for the final season of his rookie contract.
By the end of the playoffs, Hardaway had fallen out of the Dallas rotation, and his future with the team was in doubt with one season remaining on his contract.
Over 11 NBA seasons, Hardaway has averaged 14.0 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game. Hardaway played a crucial role for the Mavericks but faced shifts in playtime and role.
