Grimes remains the last major restricted-free agent in play, and his outcome could set Kuminga’s floor on market value. A successful Grimes deal would imply a stronger floor for restricted forwards, potentially lifting Kuminga’s price floor while signaling tighter cap conditions for next offseason.

Grimes has bounced between teams, landing in Philly on a deal that boosted his profile to All-Star-caliber stretches. Free agency chatter centers on whether he follows Cam Thomas’s path or settles into a supportive, high-usage role depending on the Sixers’ needs.

Grimes sits in the RFAs mix with shooting versatility and growth potential. His ability to space the floor could push him into a higher impact role if he lands with a team valuing three-and-D gravity, affecting the RFAs market and Thomas’ fantasy ceiling depending on backcourt usage.

Grimes signs with Philadelphia as unsigned RFAs hover, presenting a potential scoring spark off the bench or as a late-season starter. His development could unlock more wing depth for PHI and offer a dart throw option for fantasy managers chasing youth and upside.

Quentin Grimes, part of the RFAs orbit in this scenario, represents a guard with upside whose market dynamics are tied to the broader Giddey-led discussion. Grimes’ path could hinge on whether Chicago extends or sacrifices cap space, shaping his fantasy trajectory.
