I wish we still had him. They obviously traded him because they did not want to pay him this summer. That being said, I think Shamet can give us about 85% of what Grimes could give and at a vet minimum price, so we probably made the right call.
Hard disagree on that one. Maybe those were the prices in the last CBA, but I think he's lucky if get $15M. The fact that there are no teams with cap space showing interest kills his value. The 76ers can just wait and if anoyher team throws Grimes a bone, the 76ers can still match.
I think he played like a $17-$20 mil player but you are right. This a bad market for him because no teams have that kind of cap space. He will probably stick with Philly on a contract below $16 mil
As well, Grimes a RFA, so Philly can just match.
Im curious as to who is driving these salary demands. Grimes or his agent? Guessing its Grimes from the decisions he's made over the span of his career.
Really didnt look comfortable taking it to the rim until near the end of last season. The question is will Grimes still be comfortable when defenses dont have one eye out the door? Or arent resting their starters before a playoff run?
