Mavericks' neglected young project erupts into stardom on new team

The Dallas Mavericks traded Quentin Grimes to the Philadelphia 76ers almost one year ago, and he has been on the fast track to stardom ever since. This move was known to be a mistake ever since it happened, and Grimes' play, combined with the contract he signed, is turning this decision into a nightmare for Dallas.

The Mavericks traded Grimes because they didn't think that they could pay him what he wanted in free agency that summer, but what they didn't realize is that no teams across the league had the cap space to give him a big contract anyway.
