Quentin Grimes

[Goldstar88]

The Celtics should go after him. Philly has too many guards with Maxey, VJ, and McCain who is back tonight. Quentin signed a 1 year deal with the 76ers for $8M and is averaging 18pts, 5rebs, 5ast with 45/45/77 shooting splits. He?s 6?4? 210lbs, so decent size for a SG.

Starters: White, Grimes, Brown, Tatum, Queta.
Bench: Pritchard, Hauser, Minott, Hugo, FA Center

I think that could be a contending team.

I like Grimes, but would rather go after a front-court player who can suck down rebounds. That seems to be the greatest need even after Tatum is back.

He can?t be traded till January and he can veto any trade. He would be a rental as he?s looking for 20-25 million a season which I doubt Brad will give him. That?s why he took so long to accept his qualifying offer in Philly, he was expecting a big payday, but nobody was willing to stump up the money.

My friend is a Sixers fan so I followed this guy?s restricted free agency pretty closely

I mean, $20M/year for a guy who is averaging 18/5/5 with excellent shooting seems pretty fair to me. The Celtics aren?t contending with what they have. They lost too much talent.

exactly.  frontcourt needs fixing more than the back court.  we're already loaded in the backcourt and have our own version of Grimes we'll be unloading at the deadline in Simons.

they won't be contending by replacing Simons with Grimes either.  Need big men that can provide some offense, rebounding and solid defense.

Except Grimes can actually play defense. Feel like that?s a pretty important piece you are leaving out. If Simons was actually good defensively, maybe Brad would want to keep him.
