Matters between Quentin Grimes and the Philadelphia 76ers have only gotten stickier.
Grimes and the 76ers are still far apart in their negotiations for a new contract, Shams Charania of ESPN reported Wednesday. Both parties are staring at Grimes’ $8.7 million qualifying offer, a sign-and-trade, or a potentially larger one-year deal. He is one of the last remaining restricted free agents who are yet to secure a deal ahead of the 2025-26 season.
The Qualifying Offer
The deadline for a restricted free agent to accept or decline his qualifying offer is October 1st. However, Tony Jones of The Athletic reported that Grimes’ management proposed extending that deadline to October 8th, which would give them more time to negotiate a new deal with the 76ers.
