The 76ers used the Tanhua lottery to select the wing stars. Can they still leave behind a backcourt general who is both offensive and defensive?

In this year's NBA Draft, the Philadelphia 76ers used their 3-car lottery to select VJ Edgecombe, the Bahamas wing player who had previously played for Baylor University. Edgecombe was a popular choice for the 76ers, especially after Ace Bailey lost 76ers to try out, Edgecombe became the team's undoubted choice for this pick. But the problem is that Edgecom and Quentin Grimes, who is about to become a restricted free agent, have a high overlap in position and style of play. After selecting Edgecombe, whether the 76ers should leave Grimes becomes a question mark.

Grimes joined the team from the Dallas Mavericks in the middle of the season. After joining the 76ers, Grimes made a total of 28 appearances in the NBA regular season, averaging 33.7 minutes per game, averaging 21.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.4 blocks, and 2.9 turnovers and 2.1 fouls. He shot 46.9%, three-point shooting percentage 37.3%, and free throw shooting percentage 75.2%. After joining the 76ers, Grimes gained a high ball and tactical position due to the serious lack of staff. He also produced extremely impressive data in this situation. He completely released his scoring ability. He is also quite distinctive in passing and organization, and his role on the defensive end is also quite outstanding.

On the one hand, Grimes' performance is visible to the naked eye, and the 76ers holding his bird rights can also complete the contract renewal with him without being restricted by the salary cap. However, on the other hand, with Grimes' performance and his amazing performance in this series, the team will have to pay a huge price to renew his contract with him, and his salary will definitely not be low. The salary of Tanhualang Edgecom is also not low, and his existence has also affected Grimes Edgecom's playing time and his future development, and it is equivalent to the team making repeated investments in the same position.

Losing Grimes is a very regrettable thing. He is already a very mature player and it is impossible to have the problem of becoming a parallel product. Moreover, he has been on the team for half a year and has a relatively good understanding of the team's situation. No problems will happen if he is left behind. But if the existence of Grimes affects the development of Edgecom, which has a higher upper limit, it will become less worth the effort. For the 76ers, the situation also seems a bit difficult to deal with. I don’t know what operations they will do next, will they choose to keep Grimes?
