Quentin Grimes (Philadelphia 76ers)
October 2025
After a prolonged standoff, Quentin Grimes accepted the $8.7m qualifying offer to stay with Philadelphia for one year. The deal grants him a rare no-trade clause, ensuring he controls his future before entering unrestricted free agency next summer.
Grimes becomes one of the last restricted free agents to resolve his status. The decision mirrors his desire for flexibility, with a stronger free-agent market expected in 2026. For the Sixers, it secures depth on a short-term basis but limits trade maneuverability this season.
