The Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday acquired forward Caleb Martin from the Philadelphia 76ers in a trade that sends guard Quentin Grimes the other way, Afrosport reports.
The deal, which will also see Philadelphia get a 2025 second-round pick from the Mavericks, comes just three days after the blockbuster trade that sent Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis.
