Newly acquired Dallas G Quentin Grimes has emerged as a candidate for a contract extension before Monday's 6 PM ET deadline for new deals for former first-round picks from the NBA Draft Class of 2021, league sources tell @TheSteinLine.

Makes sense if the Mavs have liked what they have seen. Probably a little north of the Josh Green extension #.
It is sort of in the sweet spot for both team and player. Sure, Grimes could bet on himself and make 30-40% with a good season....will there be a lot of money available in the market though? But Grimes has also had some knee issues. So lock down 40-50 million now and you are set for life. If he stays healthy another 50-75 mil may be possible for his next contract.
It is going to be interested how Mavs keep everyone healthy at the 1-3 coming off the bench. Naji, Grimes and some point should get the majority of the minutes.
