Earlier this week, the Philadelphia 76ers and the Dallas Mavericks agreed to a trade ahead of their Tuesday night matchup in South Philly.

Ahead of the game, Sixers President of Basketball Operations Daryl Morey officially announced the trade.

The Sixers announced they had acquired the veteran forward Quentin Grimes, along with a 2025 second-round pick, which is the more favorable selection from Denver or Philadelphia.

Dallas would land the veteran forward Caleb Martin.

Heading into the Wednesday night matchup against the Miami Heat, the Sixers put Grimes’ debut in doubt. While he was questionable on the injury report, Sixers head coach Nick Nurse made it clear Grimes was a long shot to play. It turned out that the trade was still pending after all.

On Thursday, Marc Stein reported that after consultation between the Sixers, Mavericks, and the league office, the Sixers agreed to add another pick in the trade. Philadelphia will attach its own 2030 second-round pick, according to PHLY’s Kyle Neubeck.

For the Mavericks, there was concern about Martin’s short-term availability, considering he’s been nursing an injury since January 12. Martin had missed 12 games in a row for Philadelphia before the two teams agreed to the deal.

The Sixers part ways with Martin just one season into his multi-year deal. In 31 games, Martin produced nine points, four rebounds, and two assists per game while shooting 38 percent from the field.
