Average 21+5+4! He once refused the Mavericks for 3 years and 27 million! Now no one cares about it

Although the signing and trading of the free market this summer is epic crazy, it is very unfriendly to restricted free agents! As of now, the four restricted free agents in the league this summer, Jonathan Cuminga, Josh Gidey, Cameron Thomas and Quentin Grimes, have not received a new contract, and the four brothers are still in a state of no interest. This makes people want to ask, what's wrong with this world? Can't we be slightly better for restricted free agents?

Of course, the main reason why these guys are ignored is that there is a huge difference between the ideal annual salary contract they want and the amount of the quotation contract that the old boss can provide, which has led to the fact that the negotiations are never reached! Take Jonathan Kumingga as an example. The Warriors are now only willing to provide a short contract with an annual salary of about 20 million yuan, while Kumingga insists on asking for a long contract with an annual salary of more than 30 million yuan. The annual salary alone is about 10 million yuan. How can this be achieved?

It is worth mentioning that except for the contract quotations offered by the old clubs that are far from their respective psychological prices, no other team in the league is willing to provide quotations, which directly leads to no one who cares about the four brothers.

Since the free market door opened, more attention has been focused on Kumingga, Joshgidi and Thomas, while Quentin Grimes has not been noticed by many people. Although the outside world believes that the Sixers' top priority this summer is to bring Grimes back to Philadelphia, the current contract renewal negotiations between the two sides have been slow to make any substantial progress. Compared to the fact that Kumingga and the Warriors are close to falling out, Grimes and the 76ers are moving towards a renewal and continuing to cooperate. However, it is unknown when the two parties can reach a contract!

Reasonablely, the Philadelphia 76ers should provide Grimes with a satisfactory contract extension. Because Grimes has been sent to the 76ers by the Mavericks on the trading deadline last season, he has experienced a super explosion and has achieved the strongest performance in his career!

It is reported that after being traded by the Mavericks to the 76ers in February this year, Grame played 28 regular season games for his new club, averaging 33.7 minutes per game, scoring 21.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.5 steals, 0.4 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 46.9%, a three-point shooting percentage of 37.3%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 75.2%.

But even though Grimes averaged 21+5+4+1 all-around data per game by the 76ers, he did not get the market price he deserved, which is really incredible! Recently, famous reporter Fred Katz asked about Grimes' annual salary and investigated 16 league executives. Most of the participants believed that Grimes' annual salary was within reasonable range of the middle class special case (starting salary of $14.1 million).

Among the 16 participants, 12 of the 16 participants gave an annual salary of between 12 million and 16.7 million, the highest one offered a four-year 75 million, and the average annual salary given by all participants was US$18.8 million.

With the continued disregard for the free market, there are now three choices in front of Grimes. One is to accept a 8.7 million qualification offer and become a full free agent next summer; the second is to return to the medium term and seek trade; the third is to compromise and reduce salary by about 76 people. According to famous reporter Marc Stein, Quentin Grimes rejected the three-year, 27 million early renewal offer offered by the Mavericks last year.

From rejecting the Mavericks' three-year, 27 million early contract renewal to the free market this year, we have no idea where Grimes will go in the future! But one thing that is certain is that he probably can't get the big contract for annual salary of more than 25 million yuan he wants. By the way, what range do you think Grimes' annual salary is appropriate?
