Quentin Grimes and 76ers Were Never Close on Long-Term Extension

Grimes bet on himself after averaging 21.9ppg for the 76ers last season, signing the 1-year $8.7 million qualifying offer. Shams Charania said, "The two sides never found traction on a new deal." The 76ers' 4-year $39 million offer was far from the $20-25 million yearly contract Grimes desired. The 76ers are confident in a potential sign-and-trade involving Grimes next summer.
