The Philadelphia 76ers’ contract negotiations with Quentin Grimes have resulted in a seemingly endless stalemate. Money has been the sticking point between the two parties, but there is a way for the talks to progress.
Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report revealed that buzz has surrounded the possibility of the 76ers trading Kelly Oubre Jr. and, or Andre Drummond this summer on “Insider Notebook” Saturday. Fischer noted that by doing so, Philadelphia would acquire more flexibility to re-sign Grimes to a contract that pleases both sides.
Why this makes so much sense
Oubre ($8.4 million) and Drummond ($5 million) opted into their player options before the June 29th deadline.
