With many teams lacking salary cap space, the restricted market has stalled, and the Sixers, for now, are essentially bidding against themselves.
Philadelphia has reportedly ruled out any sign-and-trade options, signaling their intent to keep the 25-year-old guard long term, per RealGM.
Grimes is coming off a breakout stretch with the Sixers after arriving in a trade from the Dallas Mavericks.
In just 28 games with the team, he averaged 21.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 1.5 steals, while shooting 47% from the field and 37% from three.
At 6-foot-5, Grimes adds versatility to Philadelphia’s backcourt. Alongside Tyrese Maxey, he’s one of the few players on the roster who can consistently pressure the rim.
He also brings lineup flexibility, capable of sliding to the small forward spot next to players like VJ Edgecombe and Jared McCain.
