Why do you say that? There are several teams he'd probably get more playing time on.


Because I would think, that just in case he needs/wants a S&T, he wants to keep his Bird rights alive.

If he gets traded, the acquiring team does not get his Bird Rights.


Ah, I didn’t realize we’d have his bird rights next summer. Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Guess we'll see, but both those guys are younger... and likely doesn't hurt that they've had the opportunity to actually contribute within the teams actual roster and prove value.

I can't get mad at Morey for not paying 20-25 million to Quentin for the situation he actually contributed at a high level in and that he didn't exactly kill it in his role when the team was trying. If he can contribute this year in his realistic role...I think it could cost them some extra money, but they can keep him or trade him

Daniels and Sharpe are three years younger. In theory, they have greater potential. Also they're much more important parts of the projects those teams are building. Plus, they've also proven themselves a bit more on the NBA court.

I like Grimes, but he hasn't proved to be a player that contributes to winning and in all fairness, he's really redundant in the near future with Maxey - VJ and McCain already here.

Would be plain stupid to pay him that much money, especially given the fact the league doesn't value him that high either (otherwise, someone would have offered him a bigger contract). So don't know if he would have great trade value at 20 million/year.

Pretty sure his contract (+ Oubre's) will be in the market come february in exchange for a 4
