Rockets and 76ers are planning a 2-for-1 deal? Grimes assists Durant?

Basketball

The 2025 draft officially ended. Previous remarks from famous reporter Shams have whet the appetite of fans, but this draft ended in a dull state. Without the expected big deal, the senior management of each team became more cautious. After the Rockets got Durant, the lineup structure became complete. General manager Rafael Stone convinced Van Vleet to accept a contract with a significant salary cut. The Rockets took the opportunity to obtain a $14 million deal special, which can continue to be used as a reinforcement. Rockets fans expect General Manager Stone to be able to handle early contract renewals between Jabbarry Smith and Tari Ethan at the same time before the new season begins, so that they can stay in Houston for a long time, but from the analysis of the characteristics and abilities shown by the two in the past three seasons, it is unlikely that they can retain them at the same time.

recorr Shams said during a TV interview program this week that the Rockets management has listed young player Whitmore as the main trading candidate. Shams revealed that the White Devil is a very talented player, which has attracted the attention of many teams in the league. The Rockets can exchange him for a future first-round pick or an instant combat power that can provide help. Shams believes the Rockets management wants to find a player like Dillon Brooks. Recently, US media BR suggested that Rockets general manager Stone pursues Jaylen Green's same player Grimes this summer. Due to his highlight performance after the 76ers, Grimes's net worth has increased, and he hopes to get a contract that surpasses the middle class. The media provided a 2-for-1 trading offer to the Rockets and 76ers. The specific trading plan is: the Rockets gave Cameron Whitmore + Jock Landal and got Quentin Grimes from the 76ers.

Grimes is 25 years old, 1.93 meters tall, 2.02 meters in wingspan, and weighs 95 kilograms. He is a double-sports guard on the field. At the beginning of this year, he was sent to Philadelphia by the Mavericks in a deal involving Kaleb Martin. In 28 games that represented the 76ers, he averaged 33.7 minutes per game, contributed 21.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.5 steals, and shot 37.3% from three-pointers. Grimes's playing style is tough, comprehensive, and shows outstanding strength on both offense and defense. However, because there is no top skill, he has not been reused in both the Knicks and the Mavericks. However, in the 76ers team, which is short of soldiers, Grimes has obtained a lot of mobile phone opportunities, and he did not let the opportunity slip away easily, and played the most prominent performance of his career in his contract year.

Rockets head coach Uduka has always liked players with tough defense. Grimes not only meets his requirements, but also provides sufficient firepower support on the offensive end. For the Sixers, Grimes is bound to ask for a high salary this summer. But when Embiid and Paul George all recovered and McCain and Edgecome needed more training opportunities, Grimes' role in the Sixers would inevitably decline, so General Manager Morey didn't want to spend too much energy on him. Whitmore has two years of rookie bonus period, he is only 20 years old, and his future is full of light. In addition, Landale's remaining two years of $16 million contract is not guaranteed, and the 76ers management can choose to lay him off without paying any price.
