Overview

  • Quentin Grimes is a restricted free agent seeking about $25 million per season after averaging 21.9 points per game in 28 contests last season.
  • The 76ers have indicated they are almost certain to match any offer sheet to retain Grimes.
  • Contract talks have stalled as Philadelphia balances Grimes’ market value against cap constraints and backcourt depth.
  • Fadeaway World’s sign-and-trade proposal involving Rui Hachimura, Dalton Knecht and a 2031 first-round pick has been downplayed by 76ers leadership.
  • Grimes’ summer 2023 workout with Lakers coach JJ Redick has fueled speculation about his potential fit in Los Angeles.
