TRADE: Caleb Martin + 2030 2nd to Dallas | Grimes + PHI 2nd heads to 76ers

I don't think they're done. They definitely need another player who can create offense.

The list of "who's expendable to be traded" is being modified as we go -- Christie made Grimes expendable, so Grimes could be traded for Martin, and Martin has now made _______ expendable. Martin is a SF.

I'm guessing Naji, and/or Klay, are possible trade chips we might see moved next. Their limit coming back would be a 24-25M player more or less if they package those guys together, as they will have to have some money to fill up empty roster slots. I would think Powell (4M) and perhaps Exum (3M) could be considered too.

Note: They will go over the tax line and use up most of their cushion under Apron 1 in this trade.

Don't think Christie can provide what Grimes did offensively and I don't think Martin makes anyone expendable.  The fact that they killed most of their cap space in addition to sending a second in this trade makes it even more of a joke.  

This is so crazy, we have been moving away from the old model of surrounding Luka with 3&D guys who can't do anything else, and now that Luka is gone we are going back to that?
