Morey offered him 18 mil a year as the final final offer. This should’ve been over by now and looks bad on you.
Sixers have three first round picks at guard. All three have a higher ceiling than Grimes.His career stats points 10.4, rebs 3, assists 2..Two year contract with a team option. He's a nice backup at best.
He had all summer to make a decision. Dude can kick rocks and give VJ more minutes
Oct 1 is not a hard deadline for Quentin Grimes and his agent @DavidABauman. Signing the Qualifier is not good for Sixers, Grimes or the fans.
And he also shouldn't have to waive his right to refuse a trade on a one or 2 year deal. Morey says Grimes is part of the future. The best way to prove it and to win back the lost reputation with the @sixers fanbase is to guarantee he won't be traded this season.
And Grimes' agent has stated he's willing to go as low as 17.5 M, and even include a Team Option. He is very reasonable. And it so happens that Grimes is a pretty good PG also. VJ can't play the point.
Grimes on his part, if he has the courage, can ignore the Qualifier and refuse to sign anything until Morey gets serious, for as many weeks as it takes. See how long before Morey can screw Grimes, knowing that Maxey and VJ will be the only 2 guards at least into early December, when maybe McCain will be working his way back from an invasive surgery.
Of course we know that Josh Harris is behind Morey being cheap, since Harris is getting cold feet about paying luxury taxes once again. Bauman can also complain to the NBA Players Association, and Morey's reputation with players will be further in the toilet.
Harris and Morey are the bad guys. Fans should be screaming for Josh to sell the team and stop blaming Grimes, who would much prefer to be in Abu Dhabi right now, helping the Sixers.
Of course Morey is going to be required to do lots of mending with the Sixers fans, whenever Morey bends on an agreement – likely short term and probably after Oct 1 but before the start of the season.
Grimes scored 26.7 ppg for 18 consecutive games (on 18.9 attempts per game) and shot 38.9% from 3 pt. on 7.9 attempts per game, for the firsts 27/28 games he played with the Sixers.
Yes, he is All Star level, but willing to take a fraction of what he's worth. He just wants to be a Sixer. He knows he can help the Sixers contend for the EC finals.
