Quentin Grimes was firm on his asking price. But the Sixers couldn’t afford to mortgage their future again.

Grimes, who averaged 21.9 points in 25 starts for the Sixers last season, was looking for a deal that guaranteed him $20 to $25 million per season. Those offers never came.

Tyrese Maxey has taken a vital leadership role for the Sixers: ‘It’s just what I do. I guess I’m old.’

The point guard will turn 25 in November. Joel Embiid had urged him to become more vocal and Maxey became a leader last season when injuries took a toll on the Sixers.
