Welcome Quentin Grimes!

Question can Grimes start a 3 if we have a Harper and Maxey backcourt ?

IMO, you can easily play Maxey/McCain, Grimes, and Harper at thr same time and that's part of the appeal to me. Harper is the size of a 3 and Grimes is a decent defender.

An offer sheet from another team, or a sign-and-trade scenario for Quentin Grimes is very logical for the 76ers Management to do. Following actions taken by the 76ers Management with Guerschon Yabusele tells a different story. The 76ers have made up their minds on Quentin Grimes. How much money are they willing to spend. Justin Edwards and VJ Edgecombe have replaced him. The benefits of sign and trade go to the 76ers, exploiting this scenario would be multiple draft picks in return. First and second picks from Portland would be good compensation. Additionally, the 76ers have an abundance of young players the development and resources should be expended on them. Daryl Morley has an analytical mind and applies AI principles to do player evaluations. Morley and Mangement have done the numbers; and the bottom line is not favorable for Grimes in Philadelphia.

Are you an AI?

You know who Grimes kinda reminds me of? He's like a Great Value Brandon Roy. Similar shooting motion and both are capable and willing to make contested outside shots. Both handle the ball similarly too imo...nothing explosive but they're patient and crafty with getting to the rim

I like that comparison a lot.

What do y'all expect?

$45M/3 years?

According to the latest news the Nets offered Thomas 14 per year for 2 years. Thomas is going to have more opportunities to show off his game with the rebuilding Nets, if he bets on himself. Where as Grimes will be fighting for playing time with VJ, MCcain and Maxey. Betting on yourself, in Grimes case, does not sound like the best deal. If he is offered 45 for 3 he better take it and run.

But if Grimes needs some extra incentive Morey could always bring in Georges Niang to negotiate the contract.
"Quentin with Maxey, MCcain and VJ you are going to be standing in the corner son!"

I think any scenario outside of Grimes just taking his QO is an upset at this point. I don't see why Harris would approve paying the tax this year (assuming they know Joel is done), and the less Grimes makes the easier it is to duck.

I can see it now: Grimes going full Kobe trying to get paid, which will lead to him getting benched, and then flipping out about getting benched in the press.

Oh yes, this season should be wonderful.

I can see it playing out somewhat like that, but that's been his career. Dallas didn't give him the opportunity... He got garbage time on a tanking Philly and didn't shine even in Philly until others were benched... He didn't even shine as a role player in the short time before others went out.

Grimes did shine. But not $20 million a season shine.

To be honest, my only interest in Grimes is as a potential trade chip. I see no need to give this guy anything more than 3/45, and that's probably an overpay. He should be the fourth guard here, as I want to see the kids playing the bulk of the guard minutes. If he thinks he can do better, let someone else pay him.

I certainly think they should be open to S&T scenarios.

Grimes is 5 months older than Maxey. A contract at $15M is hardly an overpay for a starting wing. The problem is I think he wants $25M and there’s no incentive for him to settle for the 15 right now. That will always be there.

Not necessarily. Injuries happen. Player perception can change drastically in a year for anyone in either direction, even without injury.

[Wilfried]

I'm asking what's the best for the Sixers.

Grimes is a decent player but:
- Not sure if he can contribute to winning
- He plays a position we don't really need (unlike the 4 position)
- The market for players like him is dry, so not much competition

I don't see him as a part of our future, now VJ is here so the question is: 'Keep him at a reasonable price for more years and use him as a trade chip, or just let him go next summer?'

What are our options?

Anyone can drop dead tomorrow. Obviously, he’d be assuming some risk, but $15M is pretty tame when you look at salaries around the league.

Devin Vassell has a $147M contract.

Letting him go next summer doesn't free up cap space, so it's not very beneficial to let him walk.

I'd prefer to re-sign him to a reasonable deal, see how the guards play with each other, and then trade the odd man out (most likely Grimes).

If nobody is interested in him, would it be wise to sign him? Because that probably means you would have to attach something to do the trade afterwards?
