Overview

• Grimes remains a restricted free agent with no agreement in place after his breakout run following a midseason trade to Philadelphia.
• Bleacher Report’s Dan Favale projects a four-year, $67 million contract that includes flexibility via an option in the final season.
• Jake Fischer has reported the Sixers view Grimes as a priority and still expect to keep him, though there is no rush to finalize terms.
• A one-year qualifying offer around $8.7 million is on the table and has been discussed as a possible short-term path if talks stall.
• Injuries opened the door for Grimes to average 21.9 points over 28 games, but a healthier guard rotation and leaguewide cost caution could limit his role and price.
