Thus his trade value will never be higher than it is now for us. I expect a significant reduction in his minutes once both McCain and PG return which will also diminish his value. What do you think he'd fetch right now?
15 million at best...which is what many thought he'd sign for. 3 things.... Joel will start to take more shots and theyre not going to try and nerf VJ and this is now Maxey team obviously. I would expect the team to try and maximize Jared as well as he could end up being a better offensive player than VJ and is on a rookie deal. I mean the sixers can pay him more but anyone else. Plus give him an extra year which only benefits him. Maury has seen to have his finger on the pulse of what other teams are willing to pay his free agents.... So I don't doubt he has a plan. But really and truly VJ has taken over the role Grimes was expected to have for this team when fully healthy
