Report: Quentin Grimes rejected a similar deal at the extension deadline that Naji Marshall received. 3 year $27 million, per Stein

I may be completely off and I have done no research, but it feels like this range (9-12 million) is going to be the sweet spot for solid veterans moving forward.    I know the MLE is going up higher than this but very few teams used MLE money this offseason.

It just feels like you have the minimum to near minimum guys than on the other hand you have the stars who will be above 30 and up to 60 eventually.    The middle gets dragged a little and they are below 20 and probably below 15 for most cases.   

Interesting gamble for Grimes.   A good year maybe gets him to 15 right?   Although for a guy joining his third team and also had some knee injuries it is a interesting gamble.    27 million would have at least given him security regardless of how his career goes from here.
