NBA Trade: Caleb Martin Traded to Mavericks for Quentin Grimes and 2025 Pick
The Philadelphia 76ers have executed a trade sending forward Caleb Martin to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for guard Quentin Grimes and a 2025 second-round draft pick. This trade, reported by multiple sources on February 4, 2025, marks a significant transaction just ahead of the NBA trade deadline, as teams look to solidify their rosters for the remainder of the season.
Caleb Martin, 29, had a promising season with the Sixers, averaging 9.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game in 31 appearances. He shot an effective 37.9% from three-point range. Martin signed a four-year, $28 million contract with the Sixers during the previous offseason after an impressive playoff run with the Miami Heat in 2023.
In return, the Mavericks receive Quentin Grimes, 24, who has been averaging 10.2 points and shooting 39.8% from beyond the arc this season. Grimes is on an expiring contract worth $4.3 million and is expected to enter restricted free agency at the end of the season. With this trade, the 76ers reclaim their own second-round draft pick for 2025, which had previously been traded to the Mavericks.
As part of this deal, the Mavericks are expected to reinforce their roster dynamically, maintaining focus on a championship window that has been changed significantly following another major trade earlier, where the franchise acquired Anthony Davis from the Los Angeles Lakers.
