76ers botching Quentin Grimes negotiations looks downright ridiculous

Quentin Grimes has probably already played his way off the Philadelphia 76ers next season, and that's solely the team's fault. Grimes has been magnificent off the bench so far this season, immediately adding himself to the early-season Sixth Man of the Year race.

This summer, the Sixers front office was steadfast in its commitment to not give Grimes a long-term deal, instead opting to sign the restricted free agent guard to a one-year qualifying offer that will cause him to be an unrestricted free agent next year. With Grimes' stellar start (he's averaging 17.3 points and shooting over 40% from 3-point range) he has likely priced himself out of Philly's range when he hits the open market next summer.
