Report: Quentin Grimes asking for 25million AAV 

Post#1 » by Sixers in 4 » Mon Jun 30, 2025 9:35 pm

The Sixers have been in contact with Grimes and his camp, although the price may end up being steep. Grimes, 25, is looking for a contract that averages $25 million per season, league sources tell The Athletic. He has emerged as a dynamic scoring guard, and he gives the Sixers a mix of the ability to shoot from the perimeter and get to the basket and put pressure on the rim off the dribble. Last season, Philadelphia had too little of both skill sets on its roster.

No one has the capspace for that, so 12-13 for two years, then try again to be a free agent when the books look better might be the wave.

It is amazing how much the nba landscape has changed and now players like grimes can get 8 figure salaries each year.

As a Sixer fan I am expecting a bit more than the exception (14m) 15-17 million.

The question what does grimes want does he want a longterm deal in a soft market or take the 8m and go for UFA next year. Really brooklyn is the only threat to offer that kind of deal and if they do you let him go. Grimes has to go out and get that 20M+ offer if I am the Sixers I am not offering it to him

It's an overpay, but I wouldn't have any issues paying him up to $20M a year four year deal. If he's wanting more than that, then I'd only do it if it's a 2-3 year deal with a team option at the end.

I think he's worth the gamble, but he could very easily be another Jordan Poole type contract as well.

Well, pretty much every player makes generational wealth. Even guys like Davion with 2/24 is generational wealth

He better be on the phone with Brooklyn Nets GM.


Cuz a 76ers who aren't in tank mode and everyone healthy (knock on mode) will never value him 25m a year.

A team like the Hornets can(and should) get him for 20+. The Sixers can't (and shouldn't) pay that.

Maybe Philly gives him a 3/50M deal with a player option.

This is why the Mavs traded him. They were not able to get an early signing, and he wanted more. Then he went berserk with the Sixers. No wonder he is asking for this.
