I just don't see PHI signing Grimes to a long term contract. With Maxey, McCain, and Edgecombe ahead of him and 3 max contract players, it really makes no sense. IMO, they are retaining Grimes' value for a trade.
They are completely thin at true SF. Oubre is it.
Not saying Nico would do it because it'd be admitting his mistake, but would you trade Naji and picks for Grimes? S&T of say $22m/yr for 4 years? Naji better fits their roster in having a 2-way player at a great value.
PG: {Kyrie}, DLo, Exum, BWill
SG: Flagg, Grimes, Christie
SF: PJ, Martin, (Flagg)
PF: AD, (Flagg), (PJ)
C: DLive, Gafford, Powell, (AD)
6thMan: Klay
I am one of the biggest Grimes fans on this board, but I would not do that. It does not look like he can get more than full MLE on the open market, so why would we pay significantly more than that plus add picks? I also think he has established that he is not the POA defender this team needs.
