The Philadelphia 76ers tried to generate as much elbow room as possible to usher in the then-impending free agency of Quentin Grimes, but in doing so, they made a foolish decision that will most definitely age terribly moving forward.
Not long after free agency started, 76ers fans suddenly got wind of Guerschon Yabusele exiting the team to join one of their biggest rivals, the New York Knicks. As it turns out, the 76ers front office never really tried to mount a real offer to the Frenchman, extending him an offer nearly equal to the veteran’s minimum.
