This summer’s free agency period for the Philadelphia 76ers has been an especially quiet one, with the team already well over the salary cap level and only having the taxpayer midlevel exception and minimum and two-way contracts at their disposal. The biggest drama is the restricted free agency of Quentin Grimes, which, like nearly the entire restricted free agent class currently within the NBA, has dragged on interminably.
Our Bryan Toporek did an excellent job last week of laying out the nitty gritty cap reasons why Grimes is still in limbo. Basically, his camp was reportedly seeking around $25 million per year, but there’s no available landing spot for him in the market beyond the $14.
