The NBA free agency market has two notable players at a stalemate with their current teams. Jonathan Kuminga and Quentin Grimes<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The former player has had multiple offers on the table from the Golden State Warriors, and almost certainly seems to be on his way out sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n

As for Grimes, there is a strong mutual interest in keeping him with the Philadelphia 76ers.<\/p>\n

However, the two parties are reportedly far apart on striking a deal. <\/p>\n

Grimes has support from his Sixers teammates amid his holdout. Players understand the business side of the game and wouldn\u2019t hold it against a young veteran looking to score his biggest payday in a way that might have a short-term effect on the team.<\/p>\n

But the former NBA All-Star Jeff Teague makes a valid point. The Sixers might be in a tough spot momentarily, but a few circumstances could quickly change Grimes\u2019 value if he gambles on a short-term contract like a qualifying offer or something similar.<\/p>\n

\u201cThink about if Paul George is showing his a** this year. Like, he comes back healthy and he\u2019s Paul George of the Clippers, they\u2019re feeling like PG is back, he can average 21-22\u2014you\u2019re cooked!\u201d Teague said on Club 520. <\/p>\n

\u201cOnly reason he was getting the opportunity was because PG wasn\u2019t PG. He was hurt. Jared McCain was hurt. Tyrese Maxey was hurt. And then the rookie\u2014you still had the left-hand rookie we was high on last year\u2014Justin Edwards.\u201d<\/p>\n

Quentin Grimes joined the Sixers after he appeared in 47 games for the Dallas Mavericks in 2024-2025. The trade-happy Mavs moved Grimes to the Sixers, prioritizing Caleb Martin. With the Sixers, Grimes had the best stretch of his career. In 28 games, he averaged 21.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 4.5 assists.<\/p>\n

With his value sky-high, Grimes was reportedly on the hunt for an offer with a $25 million salary attached. There\u2019s been dueling reports from both sides regarding the offers that Grimes actually received, but it\u2019s clear that the terms weren\u2019t that. As a result, Grimes is quickly approaching his deadline on October 1 without a resolution in sight.<\/p>\n

The Sixers haven\u2019t lost interest in Grimes. Daryl Morey publicly expressed his desire to work something out when the Sixers return from Abu Dhabi. The chances of Grimes returning to the Sixers on a one-year deal seem to be growing bigger by the day, but Teague advises Grimes to strike while he can. <\/p>\n
