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
Quentin Grimes is a 24 year old 3+D guard, who gets better every year.
Caleb Martin has size, but I don't think he's a better basketball player than Grimes and he's 5 years older.
Grimes doesnt really get better every year tho. His best year was 2 years ago on the Knicks. This is a journeyman guard for a journeyman forward. I dont hate it for either side but Mavs throwing in extra value here with an early 2nd is questionable
Based on my eye test, his best season was his 2nd season with the Knicks (3 years ago). This season for the Mavs, has been his 2nd best season so far. As a mavs fan, im gonna miss him
