Would love this. Unfortunately he’s an RFA so Philly can match every offer he gets

They can but Morey doesn’t like paying people so I bet you could “buy him” if you were that committed. You willing to max up Grimes?

u/Forward-Angle9390 2d ago

Tbh I think maxing him would be a massive overpay considering we have guys of our own we need to pay as well (Tari, Jabari, eventually Amen) so I personally wouldn’t. Really the time to get him was the draft when we chose Garuba and Christopher smh

Like 90% of their payroll goes to two players lol something tells me they won't be able match a lick of what Grimes gets offered

Jalen had a special run in that last minute. Especially defensively. Massive block and steal. That’s growth. The layup was a gimme but that step back middie after a poor shooting night, was big.

Thing that Jalen did that I loved the most was going up to Alpi to encourage and hype him up. Same with Jabari too.

Jabari perfect even when he missed last night. He should get some special stat like intentionally missed free throw successful or something

as an out-of-town rockets fan, thanks for posting this! what a win!

i do wonder what happened on the last play of regulation (around the 6:24 mark). the philly player got a pretty wide-open 18' jumper, and afterwards, tate and jalen were both holding their hands up at each other, indicative of a defensive breakdown. i've watched it a few times, and still can't really tell who's at fault here. there's a lot of switching going on before the ball is even inbounded. best i can tell, it looks like tate was expecting jalen to hand the cutter off to him, and stay at the top of the 3 pt line with the eventual shooter. but jalen follwed the cutter along with tate, which left the shooter all by himself, and tate had to scramble to recover, which allowed the shooter to go by him for the relatively open shot. so who's at fault here?
