Since the Lakers–Wiggins scenario has cooled off in recent days, the team might want to consider another wing to pair with Luka and LeBron. And the answer might not be too far away.
Enter Quentin Grimes.
Grimes once played alongside Luka in Dallas and has shown flashes of strong offensive ability, including multiple high-scoring performances last season.
With reports suggesting that the Sixers and Grimes are “very far” from reaching a new deal, this could be the perfect opportunity for the Lakers to make a move.
A solid scorer who can defend positions 1 through 3, Grimes checks a lot of boxes.
But here’s the catch... Grimes’ camp is reportedly seeking around $25M annually, which means the Lakers may need to clear some space if they want to secure him long term. A one-year “prove-it” deal wouldn’t hurt, but nothing is guaranteed.
Still, if the Lakers are serious about adding another wing, Quentin might just be the right guy.💯
