If Jaden Hardy continued with the Mavericks last week, his teammate Quentin Grimes will have to wait before possibly re-signing there. Not because his managers didn't offer him anything, but because he simply decided not to accept the offer that was submitted to him.
An indiscretion that comes to us from Mark Steinwhich also specifies that the proposal for Dallas was close to that transmitted to Naji Marshall, recruited in July for $27 million over three years.
Of course, this decision does not mean that Quentin Grimes will necessarily leave Texas in the coming months, although he will be free agent protected next summer, but it allows us to see that the 24-year-old player is not afraid to take a risk by betting on himself. Because Klay Thompson's new student will now have to shine to obtain a bigger contract when negotiations between the two camps can start again.
For now, the 25th choice of the 2021 Draft is in any case struggling to show itself (1 point and 1 rebound on average at 17% shooting), even if he has his place in Jason Kidd's rotation (21 minutes in total over two matches).
