Quentin Grimes, according to what reported, 76er have headed towards a one -year contract, but will it be the offer of qualification or more?

Quentin Grimes wants to capitalize on his red goal last season after being exchanged with Philadelphia. The 76er remain 1.7 million dollars below the luxury tax line this season – despite having two players in Joel Embiid and Paul George who earn north of $ 50 million this season – and they don’t want to joke with future flexibility for a list in which there is great potential but many questions.

This will probably lead to a one -year agreement between Grimes and Philly, something that seemed likely to the previous relationships and has been confirmed By Michael Scotto of Hoopshype. Grimes was looking for a long -term offer starting north of $ 17 million (about $ 20 million per season or close to it), and the first formal offer of the Sixers was significantly lower than that, at four years, $ 39 million, the agent of Grimes, David Bauman, told Scotto. The Sixer rejected that idea as a formal offer and was simply part of a negotiation.

However, the parties want to turn it, they are too distant to find common ground with a long -term agreement before the expiry of October 1 (when Grimes should have taken its qualifying offer). This has the parts that move towards a one -year contract. Scotto added details on this.

At this point, the 76er formally offered a one -year -old agreement in Grimes slightly higher than his qualified offer of $ 8.7 million with the warning that he would have given up on his non -trade clause, they said sources in the league in Hoopshype. For Grimes to give up its flexibility of the clause without trade on any one -year agreement, the officer of Philadelphia would preferably be somewhere in the north of the medium -level exception not of TaxPayer ($ 14 million) and a range of $ 19 million, they told Hoopshype.

Grimes has gained a total of $ 11.1 million in four NBA seasons, then taking the qualification offer to $ 8.7 million more that doubles what he has done in a season of his career. Having said that, he does not want to leave money on the table now, and for Philly, if he offers him something like $ 15 million for the season, he maintains his bird’s rights and can pay more next summer to keep him if he wants it. Having said that, anything north of $ 9.8 million pushes the Sixer over the first apron of the luxury tax, somehow limiting their ability to make season moves.

Grimes wants to collect the 28 red matches he had with the 76er after the commercial expiration of last season, when he scored 21.9 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.5 on average assists a game. Philadelphia is deep with guards, including Tyrese Maxey, Jared McCain (Who will miss the start of the season with a thumb injury) and VJ edgecombe just designed. The role of Grimes this season will be smaller than what he had had at the end of last season, but still key as an appetizer or sixth man, and how long are the 76er willing to pay for this?

We will find out by October 1st.
