Quentin Grimes Still Not Close to a New Contract Agreement
Quentin Grimes and the Philadelphia 76ers. Not many teams in the National Basketball Association have the funds available to sign players, with the Warriors and forward Jonathan Kuminga still engaged in a stalemate surrounding a deal. Philadelphia and Grimes are in the same boat, although it appears both sides want to continue their relationship. Fischer added that Philly may try and move Kelly Oubre Jr. and Andre Drummond to "create some additional financial flexibility" in order to make re-signing Grimes "more comfortable." The 2021 No. 25 overall pick has bounced around the NBA since being drafted. However, he finally found his footing with the Sixers by averaging a career-high 21.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 1.5 steals in 28 games. While Grimes was more productive due to the collective absences of Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid, and Paul George, his play elevated his stock heading into the summer. Now it will be up to the organization to give Grimes the money he thinks he deserves. If not, he could end up playing out the 2025 campaign on a qualifying offer before hitting free agency next offseason.
