Grimes for Martin doesn't work salary-wise so guessing there's something more coming to Dallas?

Pretty much a pure salary dump for the Sixers its looking like tho.

Martin/Naji/PJ/AD

Lotta forwards and only 1 good guard in Kyrie. Guess Naji is on the way out too?

At this point, Nico Harrison is really just an idiot.

Surely this and Luka trade has nothing to do with the Adelson family

eh. Same level player, but Grimes does have better playmaking chops (tho still below average). For a team that now has 1 above average perimeter playmaker (Kyrie), trading anyone who can dribble the ball at any level for someone who cant does seem weird tho. But there's no real difference in the level of player and i think most teams would take the extra size with Caleb

The owners giving Nico “bill o Brien” Harrison all the power is not a good look

They're in 'win now' mode. Caleb is better than Grimes today. The guy can go on a heater in the PO's and is a proven performer. He was the Heats' second best player in some games 2 years ago....the guy can ball.

Nico is quietly building something in Dallas...
