Quentin Grimes, Sixers Still Apart On New Contract
Restricted free agent guard Quentin Grimes and the Philadelphia 76ers don't seem close to signing a new contract. There has reportedly been little to no movement between Grimes and Philadelphia on a new deal.
Grimes had a breakout season after joining the Sixers in a midseason trade. In 28 games with Philadelphia, the 6-foot-5 guard averaged 21.9 points on 47%, including 37% on three-pointers. Grimes also grabbed 5.2 rebounds, dished out 4.5 assists and snagged 1.5 steals per game.
The 76ers are about $2 million under the luxury tax and $10 million under the first apron with 13 players on their roster. Grimes has reportedly been looking for a $25 million a year contract, which would push Philadelphia past the first apron, and possibly over the second apron.
