As Bleacher Report puts it: The best-case scenario for Philadelphia may be that Grimes takes a deal starting near the $14.1 million non-taxpayer mid-level exception although he may feel that's too low of an offer One has to wonder if there is a team out there--like the Brooklyn Nets for example--who is willing to offer Grimes a deal thinking the Sixers won't go over their budget too much for him This will be a tricky situation for President of Daryl Morey and Co They are already pushing up against the luxury tax which then brings the dreaded aprons into play it feels as if the Sixers are convinced that Grimes is a good piece to fit around Joel Embiid but one has to believe they will be able to find a way to make it happen Ledecky’s world record in the 800 free proves that age is seemingly just a number for her but it also makes the Rio 2016 swim she beat out more memorable having tight battles in both the 200 and 400 IM but ultimately touching 2nd in both Ledecky’s world record in the 800 free came 4,295 days after she set her first all-time mark at the 2013 World Championships in Barcelona Denis Petrashov of Kyrgyzstan took the win in the 100 breast in Ft Lauderdale Leah Hayes showed off her breaststroke chops to take third in the 200 with a new best time May 02nd, 2025 National, News, Pro Swim Series as today marks their 2nd straight day of scratches A few other names popped up on the scratch report, but it seems to be just workload management.

Katie Grimes as is she had she would have had the very hard triple of the 200 free As it is she still has the latter two events back to back After a great 1500 free on day 1 and a stellar 400 last night, Ryan Erisman seems to be sticking to the freestyle events as he has dropped the 400 IM where he was the 8th seed in favor of the 200 free While Hunter Armstrong and Caeleb Dressel still appear on the heat sheets in the 50 fly the pair were no-shows in their events this morning so it’ll be a wait-and-see approach to determine whether or not they will swim Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_2" ).setAttribute( "value" Thinking we see a 1:54 mid-low from Katie tonight More from Mark WildSee All Subscribe to our newsletter and receive our latest updates who was traded for the third time in a year they’ll have an opportunity to match any offer sheet that Grimes signs but it could put Philadelphia in a situation to potentially go beyond their budget if a rival team drives up the price With free agency still months away, Bleacher Report’s Eric Pincus recently laid out each team’s toughest free agency decision. For the Sixers, the future of Grimes was the highlight.

Mandatory Credit: Kyle Ross-Imagn Images / Kyle Ross-Imagn Images“The best-case scenario for Philadelphia may be that Grimes takes a deal starting near the $14.1 million non-taxpayer mid-level exception,” Pincus wrote. “Although [Grimes] may feel that's too low of an offer.” Unlike last season, the Sixers don’t have money to blow. They locked in some core players, extending Tyrese Maxey, and added Paul George with a max deal. Several short-term additions could also return, depending on what they do with their contract options. When Grimes got to Philly, he was coming off a 47-game stint with the Mavs, where he averaged 10 points on 40 percent shooting, along with four rebounds and two assists per game. In 28 games with the Sixers, Grimes’ value likely skyrocketed. Seeing the court for 33 minutes per game, Grimes produced 22 points per game on 37 percent shooting from three, while taking eight attempts per game. He also averaged five rebounds and five assists. Despite a lack of looks at Grimes with the core group, the Sixers are convinced he’ll be able to remain productive when the regulars are back in the mix. Reality has to be kept in check, though. Grimes was starring for the Sixers during the second half of the injury-filled season, but his usage will take a hit when Embiid, Maxey, and George are back in the mix. If there is a team out there willing to invest more because they have the space to give Grimes more of a role, it could get tricky for the Sixers’ front office.

Nearly 20% of those who go to rehab are homeless when they’re admitted More than that are unemployed or suffer strained family and friend relationships Courage to Change a Bloomington sober living organization that Grimes co-founded in 2016 Sober living houses provide a space for recovering addicts to “reintegrate” into daily life promoting social accountability through recovering roommates and case workers and providing additional paths to recovery like a 12-step program sober living houses are also about rebuilding trust with friends and family “It shows families that they’re recovering, and committed to recovering,” Grimes said. “It helps to show people that you’re putting in the work.”In 2016, while working at the criminal justice reintegration organization New Leaf New Life Grimes noticed that many people leaving prison or rehab in south-central Indiana were moving clear across the state Grimes had no experience working with sober living she’d previously led a family-owned plumbing company in Bloomington she was working at New Leaf New Life while earning a bachelor’s degree in substance abuse counseling at Indiana University But with little more than a spare bedroom, a trusting landlord and co-founder Brandon Drake, Grimes started Courage to Change it’s grown into one of the largest sober living organizations in the south-central region Grimes says manning a sober living house is difficult work involving complex layers of bureaucracy and ever-growing demands But even as she celebrates her 70th birthday this year Grimes remains committed to maintaining and nurturing an organization that she believes is vital to sustained recovery places and things are what usually need to change,” Grimes said “This is a place where people can really say When Grimes was arrested at age 53 for selling drugs Grimes got hooked on painkillers in her late 40s after being prescribed OxyContin, the most infamous contributor to the opioid epidemic Grimes had spent years saving face at work and around family and friends all the while slipping further into opioid abuse going to greater lengths to get her hands on the painkillers When she began dealing drugs to support her own habit part of her knew it was only a matter of time before she got caught “It only takes so long for word to get around.” Grimes was arrested and sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2008 she knew being sent to jail was her opportunity to reset Grimes got clean and was granted an early release from prison She returned to Bloomington and found a job at New Leaf New Life which helps people released from incarceration integrate back into society “It’s what I should’ve been doing all along.” Courage to Change emerged out of casual conversations between Grimes and co-founder Brandon Drake another recovering addict who later relapsed Grimes was staying in a two-bedroom apartment with a landlord open to renting to felons When she agreed to let Grimes host two women in the spare room The organization then moved to Ellettsville, where Grimes’ parents owned a rental house. They increased the number of residents and expanded the program, eventually receiving nonprofit status and obtaining an official sober living certification through the Indiana Division of Mental Health and Addiction Grimes said certification was a costly and timely process that took more than a year, involving applications, inspections and bureaucratic delays. The certification is critical, she said, allowing her sober living houses to receive benefits from the Indiana Affiliation of Recovery Residences (INARR) and appear on official lists of certified sober living houses in the state Grimes said the Ellettsville location proved problematic making it difficult for residents to get to work or attend court hearings in downtown Bloomington she rented two houses in Bloomington owned by the same landlord who allowed her to launch the first sober living space “She knew I always paid rent on time and saw that we were legit Board members well-versed in grant writing helped secure funding to offer residents benefits such as rental assistance United Way of South Central Indiana supplies basic living essentials such as toilet paper At the beginning of 2025, Courage to Change opened two new sober living houses with help from a $615,000 grant from the homelessness-reduction organization Heading Home Grimes now serves more than 40 clients in six houses a Courage to Change sober living home resembles a college house you might find in downtown Bloomington: simple but it’s clear residents do more than just sleep there “There’s always a community inside the house,” Grimes said if you’re really there for the right reasons the whole house is going to become a community.” submit to drug tests and commit to a 12-step program residents develop friendships and grow closer to one another It's a night-and-day contrast to the risk of relapse for recovering addicts who continue to hang around old friends who still use And while there’s strict expectations for accountability Grimes says respect and autonomy are vital to the program There are no monitoring devices or cameras in bedrooms or bathrooms and residents choose when to leave the program after their initial 90 days Grimes voluntarily shares her own experiences with addiction and sobriety with the residents a common ground that she believes builds trust with them “They can know I know what I’m talking about her organization has grown from an informal one-bedroom operation to a certified sober living organization with hundreds of former residents Grimes hopes the community will continue to support Courage to Change as it tries to help everyone it can “We know the need isn’t going away,” Grimes said Reach Brian Rosenzweig at brian@heraldt.com.

legendary Oski the Bear came together Monday for a festive celebration of the opening of the Grimes Engineering Center UC Berkeley Engineering marked this exciting milestone — just two years after the building’s groundbreaking — with a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by Chancellor Rich Lyons Situated at the heart of the Berkeley Engineering community light-filled design will provide a welcoming space for engineering students to gather and collaborate as well as the college’s flagship entrepreneurship program the newly relocated Sutardja Center for Entrepreneurship & Technology Lyons expressed his excitement over the new building’s impact on the student experience “It’s not just the benefits of new physical space it is also a matter of what that space supports and what it catalyzes,” he said I am quite certain that this new center is perfectly suited for the constructive collision of ideas — big and small brilliant and crazy — for all that makes Berkeley engineering dean Tsu-Jae King Liu noted that the new center reflects the college’s commitment to transforming the culture of the engineering field into one that is more welcoming and inclusive “The Grimes Engineering Center is the physical embodiment of this transformation,” she said “It will empower generations of future engineering innovators and leaders to be effective agents for positive change in our society.” A light glass-and-steel pavilion added more than 35,500 square feet and two floors to the former Bechtel Engineering Center This innovative adaptive reuse strategy significantly reduced the overall embodied carbon impact of the renovation and expansion of the former facility The project is on track to earn a Platinum LEED certification later this year the highest possible rating for the green-building certification system The new four-story building was developed with architectural and engineering firm Skidmore Owings & Merrill and general contractor XL Construction Given the center’s proximity to the Hayward Fault — a mere 1,300 feet — seismic resilience also factored into the building’s design including an innovative system of tension rods that use shape-memory alloy cables that stretch and absorb energy during an earthquake then return to their original shape like a rubber band This is the first time that this special material has been used in new construction the cables were tested on the earthquake shake table at the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center and in the structural engineering lab in Davis Hall The center’s modern design also reinforces its role as an educational hub Its transparent profile puts the vibrancy of student life on display while showcasing new building technologies Every structured system in the building is exposed and can serve as a teaching tool allowing engineering students to examine connections The dynamic mix of specialized spaces and programs was welcomed by the engineering students in attendance who were uniformly enthusiastic about how the new building will shape their campus experience “This engineering center will not only be a place where students come to study have meetings and meet with their advisers,” said Vivian Chung a senior majoring in bioengineering and materials science and engineering “It will be a place where students know they’ll have a home to go to throughout the day come up with and execute the most outrageous yet innovative ideas late into the night and gain the knowledge and support they need to succeed here.” The Grimes Engineering Center was funded entirely by philanthropy Lyons and Liu expressed their deep gratitude to key benefactors and highlighted the important role the Engineering Advisory Board played in getting the project off the ground “It began with the members of our Engineering Advisory Board whose early feedback on the building design and leadership in philanthropy propelled this forward,” said Liu “It was heartening to see how the vision resonated with so many people Among those attendees were Michael (B.S.’87 EECS) and Janelle Grimes (B.A.’86 PoliSci) the center’s lead donors and the building’s namesake Liu thanked them for their many years of service to UC Berkeley Michael Grimes served on several UC Berkeley advisory boards including 14 years on the Engineering Advisory Board And Lyons honored them for “enriching the educational experience of Berkeley undergraduates” through their role in developing and launching unique campus programs Liu also recognized Eugene Jarvis (B.S.’76 EECS) founder of arcade video game entertainment company Raw Thrills The Eugene Jarvis Auditorium and the Raw Thrills Lounge in the building are named in his honor Michael Grimes focused on the new building’s purpose: to provide students with a place to research discover and develop breakthroughs with far-reaching would not have been possible without the contributions and shared vision of many in the Berkeley community “You have not only the tremendous gratitude of the thousands of students who will inhabit this space but also the extended gratitude of the millions of people whose lives will be improved by the breakthroughs inspired in this transcendent edifice with a supremely worthy purpose,” he said Liu shared how she expects the new center to become the “nexus of student life” for current and future

So if you have something else on your mind after reading these, drop them in the comments or hit me up at Bluesky and we’ll save it for next week’s mailbag we got multiple questions about Quentin Grimes and how he might affect the Sixers’ options with their mid-level exception this offseason Is there any possible Grimes contract that could push the Sixers into the second apron Affect their ability to use the MLE or BAE Do you see the Sixers being able to use the full MLE (14M) or does a Grimes signing put that out of reach I recently wrote about Grimes’ future—a special shout-out to this comment, which aged like spoiled milk—and how that could affect Guerschon Yabusele as well The TL;DR version: Between Joel Embiid, Paul George, Tyrese Maxey and Jared McCain, the Sixers already have $149.1 million on their books next season. The first apron is projected to be $195.9 million If the Sixers use the $14.1 million non-taxpayer mid-level exception to re-sign Yabusele they can’t cross the first apron under any circumstance If they use the $5.7 million taxpayer mid-level exception to re-sign him they’ll be hard-capped at the $207.8 million second apron instead I’m assuming Andre Drummond will pick up his $5.0 million player option for next season (he’d be crazy not to) so that brings the Sixers up to $154.1 million with five players under contract If they pick up their team options on Adem Bona ($2.0 million) Jared Butler ($2.3 million) and Lonnie Walker IV ($2.9 million)—or add five veteran-minimum contracts in their place (roughly $2.3 million each)—that adds another $11.4-11.5 million to their books They’d be up to around $165.5 million for 10 players Using the full non-taxpayer MLE on Yabusele would push them near $180 million which would leave roughly $16 million for Grimes and their other three roster spots Grimes alone might garner more than $16 million based on how he’s played over the past month And that’s not even counting the possibility of Kelly Oubre Jr ($8.4 million) and Eric Gordon ($3.5 million) picking up their respective player options nor the Sixers keeping their top-six-protected first-round pick it would have a cap hit between $8.3 million and $13.3 million.) I’d say it’s far more likely than not that they won’t have access to the non-taxpayer MLE to use on Yabusele They still might be able to keep all three of Grimes Yabu and Oubre and stay under the second apron but that would require convincing Yabu to take the taxpayer MLE I would defer to the many draft gurus that we have here at LB. Watching the Sixers was painful enough this year; I couldn’t subject myself to a below-.500 Rutgers squad even if it did have two likely top-five picks (I’m saving my draft prep for post-lottery in case they do keep the pick.) if Harper and Bailey are the consensus top two picks after Flagg I’d consider trading down in that scenario The Sixers are in a position where they may need to accumulate assets to eventually offload Embiid or George’s contracts if their health continues to go awry They also aren’t necessarily in need of more star power (I doubt Harper or Bailey would be thrilled to be relegated as backups right away my inclination would be to explore the trade market and see what they could get for a pick in the 2-4 range If they could land a lower first-round pick in this year’s draft along with another future first-rounder or two Among the recent additions to the team over the last several weeks who do you think has the best chance of coming back next season This has flown somewhat under the radar given *gestures wildly at everything else that happened this season* did Daryl Morey and the Sixers front office low-key cook ever since the trade deadline Taking a flier on recent first-round picks such as Jalen Hood-Schifino (No. 17 in 2023) and Chuma Okeke (No. 16 in 2019) is the exact type of low-risk, high-upside strategy that can help the Sixers salvage whatever’s left of this godforsaken season. If any of them pop, the Sixers still have enough flexibility under the luxury tax—roughly $850,000 at the moment—to waive someone and sign them to a rest-of-season contract these guys are getting more run now than they ever would if the Sixers were fully healthy as much as I enjoyed seeing Okeke gobble up 15 rebounds (including seven offensive boards!) in Wednesday’s blowout loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder it’s fair to wonder what place a career 31.7 percent three-point shooter would have on this team moving forward Hood-Schifino had a rough game against OKC he’ll be a restricted free agent this offseason if the Sixers tender him a qualifying offer They might not want to commit that many roster spots to young players if they keep all four of Bona but I think they’re better off taking home run swings on younger guys rather than signing another AARP veteran If Embiid and George can’t stay healthy moving forward hitting on cheap lottery tickets might be the only way to salvage whatever’s left of this era If the Sixers lose their pick and cheap out Grimes This is a trick question. As LB’s Dave Early wrote Wednesday, the answer in that scenario is “never.” With that said: The Eagles just won the Super Bowl Thanks to everyone for the questions this week please drop in any others in the comments section below and/or on Bluesky it’s not like we have anything better to do at this time of year..

All salary information via Salary Swish and salary-cap information via RealGM Follow Bryan on Bluesky With the Sixers’ key deadline acquisition set to hit restricted free agency this summer the front office will have to decide how much of his production can translate to a contending team we’re certainly revisiting a lot of discussions we haven’t had in nearly a decade Perhaps one of the more challenging parts of The Process days was deciphering whose production was legitimate and whose stats were empty points are going to appear on the scoreboard Determining if they got there in a way that is sustainable for a good team in the future is the difficult task Michael Carter-Williams was a lottery pick and won Rookie of the Year with the Sixers in 2013-14 He was then traded at the following deadline in what ended up being the perfect sell-high from Sam Hinkie as Carter-Williams bounced around from team-to-team from the 2014-15 trade deadline until 2023 and is now not even in the NBA there are obviously a few success stories from The Process as well We’ll stick to the guard theme and point out that undrafted free agent T.J McConnell also logged a ton of minutes in the backcourt on some awful Sixers teams He stuck around for some of the team’s first playoff appearances with Joel Embiid He has become a regular rotation player for an Indiana team that got to the conference finals last year and will be back in the playoffs this season As this season’s Sixers play out the string with the entire fanbase seemingly now united in achieving the highest amount of ping-pong ball combinations heading into the May draft lottery this conversation is once again resurfacing surrounding newly-acquired guard Quentin Grimes Grimes appeared in his 15th game of the season for Philly after being traded away from Dallas last month The 29-point effort from the 24-year-old was his fifth game with at least 25 points in the month of March It is worth noting however that Grimes turned the ball over six times — a season high — and only had three assists in the 118-105 loss to the Raptors getting to the bottom of the statistical profiles of guards on bad teams is clearly a challenge Guards are the ones with the ball in their hands more often than not on offense Bigs do a lot of their scoring off of dump-offs in the paint or catching and shooting from the midrange or three-point area the more the chief scoring guards on any team are likely going to look to take matters into their own hands No one is disputing how good Tyrese Maxey is but it is worth noting that Maxey’s 21 field goal attempts per game this season are a career high his usage rate has gone up considerably since joining the Sixers It was at 18.5% in Dallas and currently sits at 24.1% in Philadelphia Even the season-long aggregate rate between both teams of 20.3% is his highest full-season usage rate of his career by close to five percentage points as his previous usage high was 15.8% last season one that he also spent with two different teams having started the year in New York before finishing it in Detroit Grimes was carving out a role for himself in Dallas contributing admirably on both ends of the floor Acquiring Grimes last month was exactly the kind of move Daryl Morey and the rest of the front office needed to make in an effort to get younger and salvage a future piece from this abysmal season Between his time in Dallas and Philadelphia, Grimes is shooting 47.8% from the field and if he can stay above 46.8% for the rest of the season, he’ll have a career year in the field goal percentage department. He is currently at 60.5% from a true shooting percentage standpoint, which is slightly below the 61.9% true shooting percentage he posted in 2022-23 with the Knicks That 2022-23 season in New York is one we should also highlight if anyone thought that his production in either Dallas or Philadelphia was inflated Grimes appeared in 71 games and started 66 of them for a Knicks team that went 47-35 and made it to the second round of the playoffs He had played well enough to go from a bench player to a starter and rather than being retained by the Knicks was used at the 2024 deadline as a trade chip which can often be the case with younger players on contending teams looking to acquire more established rotation players for the stretch run changes of scenery are nothing new for Grimes as he experienced similar changes both in team and in role in college Grimes was a five-star recruit out of high school and a McDonald’s All-American Grimes did not hit the ground running in college But he contributed sparingly and shot just 38.4% from the field and wound up transferring to Houston at the end of the season Grimes started 21 out of the 30 games he played in but his numbers were better across the board he started every game and was a third team All-American selection in addition to being named the co-Player of the Year in the American Athletic Conference it took Grimes some time to find his footing in college but he became a high-level player by the time his collegiate career was over Grimes looks like more of a player that just had to find the right situation for himself than a stat-padder He’s shown enough promise in New York and Dallas to make fans believe the right combination of coaching and teammates around him would allow Grimes to settle down somewhere It’s unrealistic to expect his statistical performance of this season will continue on what we all hope are some more winning Sixers teams But he should be the top priority for Morey and company this summer when it comes to the team’s free agents Arguments can be made that both New York and Dallas moved on from Grimes too soon and the Sixers must not make the same mistake They need to be the ones to empower Grimes to get the most out of him on a consistent basis That’s the biggest difference between what Grimes is currently doing and what Carter-Williams and McConnell were doing during The Process We’ve seen Grimes have success in small stints elsewhere There’s enough talent in his game for the right franchise to unlock him and have a guard good enough to start for contending teams If the Sixers return to contention in future seasons and Grimes is a part of it this season will have at least given us something good Questions or concerns about how the upcoming construction activities may impact daily operations, research or instruction should be directed to your building coordinator.  See the Engineering Center construction gallery for previous images A former Lufkin woman died early Wednesday in a three-vehicle crash on state Highway 105 and FM 362 in Grimes County according to a report from the Texas Department of Public Safety was pronounced dead at the scene by Grimes County Justice of the Peace Mark Laughlin worked as an attorney for many years during the time the couple lived in Lufkin a Ford Expedition — in which Patricia Taylor was the backseat passenger — was eastbound on Highway 105 A Ford Ranger stopped at the stop sign on FM 362 and Highway 105 failed to yield right-of-way and was struck by the Expedition The Expedition then continued into the westbound lanes and struck a Chevrolet pickup that was westbound on Highway 105 The driver of the Expedition was transported to CHI St and the front seat passenger was transported to Scott & White College Station both with suspected incapacitating injuries The drivers of the Ford Ranger and the Chevrolet were transported to CHI St also with suspected incapacitating injuries and there was no additional information available late Wednesday Stacy Faison's email address is stacy.faison@lufkindailynews.com Email notifications are only sent once a day there are no recent results for popular commented articles Your browser is out of date and potentially vulnerable to security risks.We recommend switching to one of the following browsers: Account processing issue -

The ping pong balls are simply split up if teams finish with the same record. You could get into a coin toss scenario depending on how it all shakes out. It would behoove the Sixers greatly to finish with a worse record than the Nets as I’m sure everyone is aware by now Obviously, Flagg is the guy at No. 1. I said last week and I stand by it — if their pick lands in the top four they absolutely should take a player Rutgers’ Dylan Harper would be a weird fit but he’s also awesome Rutgers’ Ace Bailey probably fits the best here because of his size His biggest issue at the moment is shot creation which isn’t necessarily the Sixers’ biggest need Edgecombe is also a slightly weird fit as a pure two but he’s so incredibly dynamic that you take him and figure it out I’ve seen many people suggest trading back if the pick falls to five or six. I get the idea, but I’m also not sure which team is trading up and if you’d get proper value. Maybe a team falls in love with Duke’s Kon Knueppel, who was excellent in the ACC Tournament while Flagg was out maybe the Sixers are better off taking a guy like Knueppel — it’s not like 6-foot-7 guys that can shoot the lights out and put the ball on the deck grow on trees If someone like San Antonio is willing to give you two picks inside the top 20 for pick five or six I’ll start by saying it’s nearly impossible to know these things going into the draft Would I have thought that Jared McCain would look this good as an NBA starter and (at one point) become the runaway favorite for Rookie of the Year And I say that as someone who loved the pick and was super high on McCain If the Sixers were actually whole this season I think he would’ve played a huge role in any type of playoff run Are there guys that could potentially do that between pick three and six The two guys that probably fit the best right now in that range are Bailey and Knueppel They both can shoot and both can play on the wing Edgecombe is a tricky fit as a two guard but he could make an immediate impact given his elite athleticism His shot is streaky but it’s far from broken but I’m curious how he’ll hold up physically in the NBA on the wing he’s another guy that can really shoot it and score at 6-foot-6 I have been and always will be a proponent of best player available Whether that guy can play now or two years from now He chose the 20-year-old McCain over 23-year-old Dalton Knecht Everything suggested Knecht was the more NBA-ready player I think most NBA executives would take McCain right now That’s not even getting into the fact that the Sixers absolutely should have one eye on the future given the uncertainty of Joel Embiid and Paul George’s health If this scenario plays out you simply take Flagg and get the most you can out of Embiid and George until the wheels fall off Flagg would be an exceptional fit between the two of them to compete right now He’ll then become another franchise cornerstone to join the likes of Maxey The Sixers would be in a rare spot where they can try to win now while knowing another bigger (and likely more promising) window is right around the corner This is definitely a better question for Bryan As we’ve pointed out, the only true threat to sign Grimes to an offer sheet as of now is the Brooklyn Nets Given the Nets will actually have work to do just to hit the salary floor let alone go over the cap them throwing money at Grimes would make a bit of sense The guess here is it will likely fall between $15-$20 million per season — something like four years and $60-$80 million Letting Grimes walk after pulling that trade off during a miserable season would be a disaster So it’s my theory that if the Nets do offer Grimes a big contract it will likely be just to jack up the price on the Sixers — a tactic Sean Marks has deployed several times before There are other intriguing restricted free agents Marks could target but given Grimes’ explosion here to end the season he might be the most sensible one The biggest implication of matching an expensive Grimes’ offer sheet would be the team’s ability to re-sign Guerschon Yabusele If Grimes’ deal falls in the $20 million per year range it could mean the end for Yabusele’s time here For something more in-depth on Grimes’ next contract, I would check out Bryan’s most recent article on it but I would be pretty surprised if Daryl Morey is fired he’s one of the highest-paid executives in the NBA and recently signed an extension through the 2027-28 season It would be very costly for the Sixers to move on from him I also think the ownership group will give him at least another season given how disastrous this one was from an injury standpoint Morey took a couple big gambles signing 34-year-old George to a four-year max contract and giving Embiid an extension coming off another meniscus surgery George dealt with multiple injuries all season long and Embiid’s knee was never right This will get a collective groan but if .. the Sixers can turn this around quickly — especially if they add a high first-round pick into the mix there will be no excuses if George and Embiid can’t stay on the floor and the rest of the roster is unable to win games without them as much as the big swings were big misses this season signing Justin Edwards as an undrafted free agent trading for Grimes and Jared Butler — that’s a third of a roster worth of quality players added over the past few months Morey is a guy that’s always gone big game hunting but with the Sixers I can respect that he wants to look into more radical treatment plans PRP injections are actually more common now in the U.S Embiid has reportedly received those before What you’re referring to is something called Orthokine — very similar from my understanding He had to go to Germany because it’s considered experimental and it’s not done in the U.S Bryant did it ahead of his age 33 season and wound up having two outstanding seasons before all the injuries caught up to him but it took Lonzo Ball years to get back to playing NBA games after having it done A Celebration of Life Service has

the university and its students sits at the heart of the Berkeley Engineering community providing a home where they can engage in expanded opportunities for collaboration and innovation The building will serve as a central hub for the north side of campus hosting academic and social events in addition to advising The building’s name honors Michael (B.S.’87 EECS) and Janelle Grimes (B.A.’86 PoliSci) Michael Grimes would go on to become a successful technology investment banker becoming managing director and head of Global Technology Investment Banking at Morgan Stanley Together, Michael and Janelle Grimes co-founded the flagship dual-degree Management, Entrepreneurship, & Technology (M.E.T.) Program enabling students to earn two bachelor’s degrees from the College of Engineering and the Haas School of Business through a four-year integrated curriculum Michael Grimes highlighted the synergistic benefits of bringing engineers and business leaders together when speaking of the new center’s light-filled forum He saw its potential as a “nexus point for events that bring founders CEOs and other technology leaders together with students and faculty to drive more innovation.” UC Berkeley Chancellor Rich Lyons was dean of the Haas School of Business at the time the M.E.T He recalled the active role Michael Grimes played throughout the multi-year process of taking a new degree pairing from an initial idea to a thriving program that now has more than 400 students and alumni “It’s fitting that a building dedicated to student success would be named after Michael and Janelle,” said Lyons “Over the years they have been passionate champions for UC Berkeley’s students and our public mission through the development of programs and improvements in student experience that make the world a better place I’m grateful and honored to celebrate the contributions of these dedicated alumni with the naming of the Grimes Engineering Center.” The Grimes Engineering Center will also house the M.E.T Program as well as the Sutardja Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology “Berkeley has offered us the ‘give back’ opportunity of a lifetime with so many projects to create and immerse ourselves in,” said Janelle Grimes They’re also founders of the Spieker Undergraduate Business Program at the Haas School of Business, and Michael Grimes served on the advisory boards of the College of Engineering, the College of Computing, Data Science and Society and Berkeley Changemaker an academically rigorous campuswide certificate program that enrolls some 20% of undergraduates at UC Berkeley “It has been a joy and inspiration to work with Michael during his tenure on the Engineering Advisory Board His enthusiasm for elevating our students’ learning experience is contagious,” said Tsu-Jae King Liu “I am grateful to Michael and Janelle for their leadership in realizing our vision of a welcoming and inclusive academic home for all of our students and broader community.” The Grimes Engineering Center is funded entirely by philanthropy with support from more than 135 donors including members of the Engineering Advisory Board The new facility literally builds upon the foundations of the former Bechtel Engineering Center The four-story center adds 35,500 square feet across two floors providing ample space for collaboration for college and campus communities “I passed the Bechtel Engineering Center at least once every day I dropped my resume off for my first internship application,” said Michael Grimes recalling his time as a student at UC Berkeley and what they accomplished with architecture and construction across our great nation To stand on the shoulders of those giants and play a small part in furthering their legacy is a dream fulfilled.” Both Michael and Janelle Grimes are Builders of Berkeley a designation given to the university’s leading philanthropists The Berkeley Engineering community will be celebrating the grand opening of the Grimes Engineering Center later this spring The first time I found myself enraptured by Grimes was on a quiet afternoon in the fall of 2020 — while clicking through my friends-of-friends’ Spotify playlists Much of my life at that point was soundtracked by my constantly running bedroom speaker and Zoom classes and Grimes’s album Art Angels suddenly parted the clouds and opened my ears to a whole other world of music While I don’t consider myself a Grimes superfan by any means I would be lying to you if I said I didn’t like her music at all I have been inclined to examine my own relationship to Grimes is a singer-songwriter born in Vancouver to her well-to-do parents after being expelled from McGill University went on to pursue music and has been making waves from the start launched her career in the Canadian indie scene and planted her firmly in the spaces of the fledgling social media culture winning her the Electronic Album of the Year at the 2013 Juno Awards Lead singles “Genesis” and “Oblivion” are still being featured everywhere cementing her prevalence in popular culture with more than 700 million streams between them on Spotify alone Her music blends electronic and synth-pop and is a sonic treat to listen to — one that has been a cornerstone of indie since her debut in the music scene she and a friend tried floating down the Mississippi river until their impoundment in Minneapolis she revealed there was a period of her life where she “only ate spaghetti.” While there’s a sharp awareness of her distance from normalcy I think she’s incredibly open and honest with her fans and the internet as a whole Grimes has curated herself as a sort of brand has become more faded for me over the last few years Her self-stated role as a feminist artist began to ring hollow as her online activity shifted into more controversial spheres — notably praising patriarchy for its role in “developing society” and selling her art as NFTs she’s best known on the internet for dating Elon Musk a man she is still affiliated with to this day for having three children with him well before Musk rose to infamy in the U.S but their partnership didn’t exist in a vacuum then I won’t give you an exhaustive biography of Elon Musk There are enough people examining his upbringing his life as a child of emerald mine owners in the wake of South African apartheid and his current role within the U.S Buying out Tesla and founding SpaceX made the name Elon Musk synonymous with progress prior to recent years he worked hard at attaching his name to a future that would be full of electric cars and trips to Mars But Musk’s problems couldn’t be overcome by this glossy idea of the future Apart from taking credit for the work of Tesla prior to his actual involvement he has taken both of these companies and made these objectively cool things accessible only to people willing to pay the price his “Tesla Tunnels” under cities like Las Vegas are not only reinventing the public transit wheel but also overcomplicating and overcharging for something that already exists His Tesla vehicles themselves are riddled with paywalled features and updates — under Musk Grimes’s partnership with Musk came about from their mutual love for posting online — specifically it was a pre-Musk Twitter that brought them together Grimes and her interests in the unusual and science fiction would make sense with Musk — his less savory traits don’t seem to have turned her off Grimes has said that X Æ A-12’s life “mirrors Paul-type stuff” from the same Dune novels that inspired her first album critics (and myself) argue that Paul’s white savior-esque path is a cautionary tale Projecting this “chosen one” mentality not only on her child but onto herself (in the books Paul’s mother is integral to the prophecies he eventually fulfills) just feels weird was given opportunities that others aren’t by way of her family’s wealth her being comfortable with putting a starving artist veneer over her currently glitzy life does not sit well with me spaghetti-diet persona to lighten her actions done in the context of people like Musk Even her lofty delusions for their shared child can be shrugged off with the understanding that she just really likes the Dune books There is nothing damning for Grimes herself only for the people she surrounds herself with after Musk’s “Roman salute” at Donald Trump’s inauguration Grimes went on X (formerly Twitter) and denounced Nazism — but definitely not Musk Despite Grimes’s current distance from problematic topics it is not as reassuring as I would like it to be I’m not sure if I want to salvage an artist in my mind who hasn’t taken issue with things that I would in my own personal life this is a long-overdue examination of Grimes I didn’t want to look at her critically because of her contributions to the Canadian indie scene and general musical talent The void she’s left behind in my playlists is felt but nothing that some deeper research into similar artists hasn’t been able to fix but my patience with Grimes has run out with her constant alignment with the alt-right and fascist people There’s a saying that’s been floating around online you would have hated Grimes,” implying that the old Grimes the person who created music that shifted the scene and was beloved online would have despised the Grimes we see today I don’t hate this analysis — it’s one part death of the author one part separating the art from the artist still alive and well and attending parties celebrating Donald Trump’s inauguration Maybe this is the person she was all along but I don’t think it can fully eclipse my own problems with its creator He

Assistant for an Oral Surgeon while studying to become a Dental Technician Tony prided himself on giving unsolicited dental advice to friends and family who accepted it with love You could always find him in the kitchen crafting new dishes as well as critiquing culinary creations of others He was well-known for his peach cobbler egg rolls which he even sold at pop-up events around town where he consistently received rave reviews Tony gave his life to Christ at an early age and was Baptized at Christian Unity Temple under the leadership of the Reverend Dr he served in the Children's Choir and

nearly 68% of votes supporting the proposal according to final but unofficial results released by the Lubbock County Elections Office on election night Saturday aimed mostly at campus facilities including a new elementary school with 223 against in the May 3 municipal election RISD Superintendent Dallas Grimes told the A-J he's thankful for the vote of confidence from residents in the east Lubbock County district because I do believe in divine intervention and we are committed to making the best decisions we can for our students," Grimes said The bond package comes in response to the district facing aging and inadequate facilities that need some upgrades or that need to be completely rebuilt "This was a big ask -$58.5 million for a 3A school district is a big ask - and we're just glad we were able to get the support of our district to invest in our schools and our students," Grimes said Saturday's results come after RISD voters rejected a similar $58.5 million bond package last November Grimes said that message didn't go unnoticed "That told us we needed to do a little better job of explaining the why," Grimes said "I know voters in our area are typically conservative but I think the numbers conveyed and they see the need to (make this investment in our schools.)" his district is committed to getting work started soon "It was a big ask and now we have a big responsibility to deliver for our district and our students," Grimes said. "I'm just confident our current Eagles in the building will benefit- and future Eagles that haven't been born yet - will be able to look back and be thankful that we made this commitment now." Schools have two means of support funded through taxes A school's maintenance and operations (M&O) tax rate is set by the state and can only be used to help the district to pay salaries and daily operational expenses The interest and sinking (I&S) tax rate is what the Texas school district can leverage for bonds to help pay for capital projects and improvements Ahead of the election, Grimes said the proposal is asking residents to consider a 21-cent increase to the district's current I&S rate, which is set at 19 cents, according to the Texas Education Agency. RISD's I&S tax rate has been dropping since the Fiscal Year 2020-21 rate which was at 28.16 cents per $100 home value evaluations that fell to 21 cents in FY 21-22 this tax increase will not affect homeowners over the age of 65 who have filed for an "Over 65 Exemption," according to RISD RISD stated that it would cost homeowners with a $150,000 home valuation approximately $8.34 per month What will the RISD 2025 bond help fund?"In the last 65 years this community has not passed a bond for a brand new academic campus," Grimes said to maximize the growth that has moved into the district." Grimes said the new elementary facility would be able to house 600 students He also said the need for the build stems from the average age of the district facilities being around 65 years old with parts of the elementary being 90 years old "There's a (Works Projects Administration) plaque on there." WPA was a New Deal initiative from the Franklin D Grimes said the new elementary school would be located directly behind the existing one the district will demolish the existing structure Other projects would include upgrades to the secondary campus for the district including interior renovations and expanding the dining hall "We're out of space in our dining hall - our freshman class eats in the practice gym on the bleachers," Grimes said The district would also fund upgrades to its septic systems and expand the existing awning for buses to accommodate more buses ensuring the district's investment in the fleet lasts longer Grimes said the district has to wait 90 days after the Election day but it would take about three years to complete every project on the district's to-do list probably what we would turn loose first on just trying to get all that stuff out of the way so that we can tie into the new buildings," Grimes said Why now?Grimes said it's because of the Leprino Foods factory that was recently built in the district's area just east of Lubbock "That factory is valued so highly that they would basically pick up at least 50% of all these improvements - that's just how much valuation there is in that factory," Grimes said Grimes said now is the time to do so because the factory will depreciate over the years meaning their contributions will also shrink "To get the max contribution from these recent industrial improvements we really need to pass this now; otherwise construction costs will go up and their contribution will go down," Grimes said To learn more about the RISD 2025 Bond, visit roosevelt.k12.tx.us Grimes slammed the pervasiveness of beauty messaging in everyday pop culture expressing concern over how it will affect her and Elon Musk’s daughter Exa Dark Sideræl Grimes is worried about her daughter’s future She took to X “Do any other women feel like ur being choked to death on beauty culture?” The singer went on to note how she’d been listening to what she described as a “super bro mens podcast” which usually gives her “laughably misdirected” ads when she instead received an ad for Sephora “Can I go somewhere where someone isn't shoving ‘DONT YOU WANT TO BE BEAUTIFUL’ down my throat,” she added “I'm getting like radicalized just out of pure desire to not have to engage with this sick notion of beauty that follows me like a wraith.” And in a follow up message Grimes worried about how Exa might be affected in the future “The insidiousness of what our culture does to young women is insane,” she wrote “I feel enraged knowing I won't be able to protect my daughter from this All the large tech and media companies are complicit in this.” While the “Genesis” singer didn’t name her ex—one of the United States’ biggest tech moguls—as part of her criticism, Grimes has previously called out Elon over his choices to bring their children into the spotlight (including X Æ A-Xii’s viral visit to the White House’s Oval Office) “I have tried begging the public and my kids dad to keep them offline and I've tried legal recourse,” Grimes wrote on X March 13 “The state of my children's lives being public is of grave concern to me and I think about how to solve this every day It's insane to me that theres[sic] no way to deal with this.” Grimes has been locked in a legal dispute with Elon since 2023 when she filed a petition to establish parental rights following the pair’s 2022 breakup after four years together "I would hope there was some law that would allow a parent to veto small children from living public lives," she continued "but I don't even trust the law to help me now if I tried to invoke it tbh." News reached out to reps for Musk at the time but did not receive comment And after her son’s February visit with President Donald Trump went viral, Grimes reflected on the concept of fame “I would really like people to stop posting images of my kid everywhere,” she said in an interview with TIME published Feb “I think fame is something you should consent to For a closer look at Elon’s family tree—which includes 14 children—keep reading Canada and emigrated with her parents to Pretoria Maye obtained Canadian citizenship by birthright and moved there too she established a dietician practice and became President of the Consulting Dieticians of Canada after Elon sold his company Zip2 for more than $300 million he bought his mom an apartment in New York City where she lived for 13 years and continued her modeling career after being signed to the IMG Models agency "I brought my children up like my parents brought us up when we were young: to be independent, kind, honest, considerate and polite," Maye wrote in an essay for CNBC "I taught them the importance of working hard and doing good things." Elon's father is an engineer and like Elon Though Errol said in a 2015 Forbes interview that he used to often take his kids on trips overseas—"Their mother and I split up when they were quite young and the kids stayed with me. I took them all over the world."—his relationship with Elon isn't picture perfect In an emotional 2017 Rolling Stone interview Elon criticized his father and talked about his upbringing "I love my children and would readily do whatever for them." whose daughter Jana Bezuidenhout was 4 years old at the time Errol and Heide went on to have two daughters together before they Years later, Jana reached out to Errol following a breakup of her own. "We were lonely, lost people," Errol explained in a 2018 interview with The Sunday Times "One thing led to another—you can call it God's plan or nature's plan." Either way, the duo became romantic and welcomed son Elliott in 2017 and then a baby girl in 2019. As Errol put it to The Sun "The only thing we are on Earth for is to reproduce is a restauranteur and the founder of The Kitchen a collective of five restaurants that source directly from local farmers that has built 200 learning gardens in schools across the U.S. a female-focused streaming service that targets the billion-dollar romance novel industry Elon and Canadian-born Justine, his college sweetheart from Queen's University in Ontario In a 2010 article she penned for Marie Claire titled I Was a Starter Wife: Inside America's Messiest Divorce Justine said that while dancing at their wedding reception "I am the alpha in this marriage." "I shrugged it off," Wilson wrote "just as I would later shrug off signing the postnuptial agreement The two faced an unthinkable tragedy when their baby boy Nevada Alexander died at 10 weeks from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) placed on his back as always," Justine wrote in her article The couple pursued IVF to conceive again and went on to welcome five more kids: Twins Vivian and Griffin and triplets Kai Elon revealed he took Griffin and the triplets to meet Pope Francis While he was honored to meet the head of the Catholic church Griffin's twin sister filed a petition to change her full name in accordance with her new gender identity "I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way Elon spoke out about his daughter's transition essentially," he said in a Daily Wire interview with Jordan Peterson He also alleged that he was "tricked" into signing medical documents granting Vivian gender-affirming treatments She disputed his comments. "He was not by any means tricked," she said in an NBC News "He knew the full side effects." In a 2025 Teen Vogue interview, Vivian revealed that she relocated from L.A. to Japan and hasn't spoken to her father since 2020 "He's a pathetic man-child," she surmised I don't give a f--k how much money anyone has." Elon and Talulah—who starred on HBO's Westworld—married in 2010. "It all happened very fast," she told CBS News in 2014 The two divorced in 2012, then remarried a year later before divorcing again in 2016. In June 2024, Talulah wed Love Actually alum Thomas Brodie-Sangster "I just broke up with my girlfriend," Elon told Rolling Stone in a November 2017 interview. "I was really in love she broke up with me more than I broke up with her Elon and the singer dated on-and-off for four years Elon told Page Six that he and Grimes "are "It's mostly that my work at SpaceX and Tesla requires me to be primarily in Texas or traveling overseas and her work is primarily in LA She's staying with me now and Baby X is in the adjacent room." However, in March 2022, she told Vanity Fair that they "live in separate houses" and are "best friends." "Me and E have broken up *again* since the writing of this article haha but he's my best friend and the love of my life and my life and art are forever dedicated to The Mission now." In November 2024, Grimes revealed that she had "spent a year locked in battle in a state with terrible mothers rights having my instagram posts and modeling used as reasons I shouldn't have my kids," all the while "fighting and detaching from the love of my life as he becomes unrecognizable to me." Fighting with just a "fraction" of his resources she was kept from one of her kids for five months "This is only what can be said publicly since most of my experience these last years should remain behind closed doors." Elon and Grimes welcomed their first child together They soon modified the spelling of his name in order to meet California's legal guidelines which only permit letters from the English alphabet "X, the unknown variable," Grimes explained on social media my elven spelling of Ai (love &/or Artificial intelligence) A-12 = precursor to SR-17 (our favorite aircraft) my favorite song" adding a rat and sword emoji Exa Dark Sideræl & Techno Mechanicus Musk (Kids) Grimes revealed she and Elon privately welcomed a baby girl via surrogacy "Exa is a reference to the supercomputing term exaFLOPS (the ability to perform 1 quintillion floating-point operations per second)," she said People fear it but truly it's the absence of photons Dark matter is the beautiful mystery of our universe.'" Sideræl—pronounced "sigh-deer-ee-el"—is not our relative earth time," and a nod to her favorite Lord of the Rings character who "chooses to abdicate the ring." Walter Isaacson revealed in his biography Elon Musk that Exa was born in December 2021 via surrogate The book also stated that around Father's Day 2022 off-again couple welcomed a child named Techno Mechanicus Though Grimes would prefer other salient details be kept private "I have tried begging the public and my kids dad to keep them offline and I've tried legal recourse," she shared on social media in 2025 "The state of my children's lives being public is of grave concern to me and I think about how to solve this every day It's insane to me that theres no way to deal with this." In 2022, Business Insider published court documents that stated Elon welcomed twins with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis in November 2021 He also seemingly weighed in on the report on X "Doing my best to help the underpopulation crisis A collapsing birth rate is the biggest danger civilization faces by far." Walter Isaacson wrote in his 2023 biography Elon Musk that the twins' full names are Strider Sekhar Sirius and Azure Astra Alice On Feb. 28, 2024, Elon and Shivon welcomed their third baby together. The billionaire confirmed the news in June 2024, telling Page Six "All our friends and family know," adding Roses are red, violets are blue and on Valentine's Day 2025, conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair had a little sharing to do “Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father,” the Elephants Are Not Birds author wrote on X Feb. 14 of her son Romulus in honor of Rome’s legendary first king and founder “I have not previously disclosed this to protect our child's privacy and safety but in recent days it has become clear that the tabloid media intends to do so “I intend to allow our child to grow in a normal and safe environment,” she continued I ask that the media honor our child's privacy Weeks after her rep called on Elon to “publicly acknowledge his parental role with Ashley,” she accused him of cutting his child support payments for the baby prompting him to address the matter on social media “I don’t know if the child is mine or not, but am not against finding out,” he wrote in a post on X March 31 I have given Ashley $2.5M and am sending her $500k/year.” She'd actually had a chance to pocket even more, an April Wall Street Journal article alleging that Elon's staffer Jared Birchall offered Ashley $15 million and $100,000 a month in child support in exchange for her silence about her baby “I don’t want my son to feel like he’s a secret.” They were inspired to share the news while marking their third child's first trip around the sun we felt it was better to also just share directly about our wonderful and incredible son Seldon Lycurgus," she wrote on X With the Sixers officially eliminated from the playoffs I ask the fans for their thoughts and questions The Sixers, currently 23-54, have officially been eliminated from playoff contention. They also currently sit in the fifth spot for next month's NBA draft lottery After a nightmare of a season there could be a beam of light at the end of the tunnel I asked the fans for their questions and thoughts for my final Sixers mailbag of the regular season In a season that has already been a nightmare a scenario in which the Sixers lose their draft pick (top-six protected) to the Oklahoma City Thunder would be the ultimate doomsday for the organization and its fans One of the few glimmers of light to come from this disaster of a season is the hope that the Sixers retain their draft pick in a loaded draft class In the scenario that the Sixers do not get their pick a lot of questions will have to be asked within the organization What would the Sixers’ immediate plan be for the 2025-2026 season Do the Sixers try to offload Paul George and Joel Embiid and fully lean into a rebuild What would the cost be to get off of those contracts A lot of questions that I — and I don’t even think the Sixers — know the answer to right now would be to retain Quentin Grimes on a long-term deal Grimes has blossomed in his opportunity with the Sixers and shown that he is capable of being much more than just a 3-and-D guy as he was relegated to in Dallas and New York The first question I think the front office should ask themselves is how they best optimize Tyrese Maxey and Jared McCain and try to build out the rest of the roster to fit to their strengths What do you think Quentin Grimes role will be if sixers keep their pick and they have a healthy roster next season Grimes has been a revelation for the Sixers ever since they acquired him from the Mavericks at the NBA trade deadline Grimes has had the best season of his career and has likely played himself into a sizeable new contract this summer as he enters restricted free agency 22.0 PPG4.9 RPG4.3 APG38.5% from three61.0 TS% Grimes not only has the highest usage rate of his career but he’s also done it on some of the best efficiency of his career which they currently sit at 64% odds to do so then you’re adding another high-profile young player to the roster who will likely garner a lot of minutes and touches I believe the Sixers will target a forward or potentially a center depending on where their draft selection falls and who is available I do not think that will affect Grimes’ role if the Sixers do have a fully healthy roster next season that would obviously change things for Grimes from where they are now Grimes has shown he’s far more capable than just standing in the corner and shooting catch-and-shoot threes and attacking closeouts I foresee Grimes’ role next season being one of two things — the first being the starting shooting guard in the backcourt alongside Maxey the second being the sixth man and first guy off the bench Grimes can take on the tougher nightly guard assignments defensively while being able to play both off and on the ball as Maxey can do both of those things as well As the sixth man Grimes could lean even more into a creation and scoring role as a microwave go-to guy while also still providing a positive impact on the defensive end Grimes could be one of the leaders for Sixth Man of the Year or form one of the better starting backcourts in the NBA next to Maxey If Embiid and George are on the team and healthy all the better as the Sixers would have no shortage of scoring options and floor spacing In the scenario that all these things fall into place the Sixers could be looking at a sharp and swift turnaround back towards the top of the Eastern Conference next season if the sixers do get flag what is this teams ceiling The dream offseason for the Sixers starts and ends with winning the NBA Draft lottery and acquiring Duke star do-it-all forward Cooper Flagg who I have gone on the record proclaiming as the third-best overall prospect I have ever scouted dating back a decade would change the fortunes and outlook of the Sixers’ franchise overnight The ceiling for the Sixers in the immediate and long-term would be winning the NBA championship and the ceiling for Flagg would be All-NBA player and a future MVP of the league Flagg is one of the most flawless prospects to enter the NBA this century — a legitimate two-way superstar who can take over games with his scoring Thinking of an immediate future of Flagg plugged into a lineup alongside the likes of Maxey McCain and Grimes — and potentially Embiid and George — is downright euphoric The 18-year-old Flagg would sooner rather than later become the face of the franchise and one of the poster boys of the NBA and the next generation We can only hope the lottery and basketball gods smile down on the Sixers like they did in 2016 and 1996 Cooper Flagg will be a top 10 NBA player before the end of his rookie extension.There is no such thing as too much tanking if it gets you Cooper Flagg pic.twitter.com/d0BPT0rale the Dallas Mavericks were the laughingstock of the NBA due to one man's move For the final two months of the regular season Nico Harrison decided to trade Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis Harrison had concerns with Doncic's conditioning and he thought the best action plan was to trade him in the middle of the year in the season after he was third place in MVP voting He thought that the Mavs would be better off without him except for Patrick Dumont (who isn't a basketball mastermind to begin with) Dallas plummeted in the standings and ultimately ended up missing the playoffs after losing in the second round of the Play-In Tournament to the Memphis Grizzlies The Doncic trade destroyed an entire era of Mavericks basketball due to Harrison's insistence on trading him but another move of Harrison's at the trade deadline has panned out horribly as well Dallas gave up the better player in the deal while also losing an extremely valuable second-round pick, but Harrison didn't see it that way. He believed that Martin was the better player in that deal, and that couldn't be further from the truth. Especially when taking into account how dominant Grimes was for the Sixers and 1.5 steals per game while shooting 46.9 percent from the field and 37.3 percent from downtown Grimes was on an absolute tear during his time with the Sixers and the newest NBA rankings reveal just how special he truly is In FanSided's NBA 99 update, Grimes was ranked as the 76th-best player in the NBA as he truly took the NBA by storm over the final two months of the season and it shows how badly Harrison messed up by trading him Grimes showcased that his offensive game was much more advanced than anyone gave him credit for during his stint with the New York Knicks and Detroit Pistons over spurts during his time with the Mavs He wanted to acquire a player who he thought would be an elite wing defender for their hopeful playoff run in Martin (although Grimes is an outstanding defender as well) and this trade will haunt the Mavs for years to come if Grimes develops into a star and Martin doesn't pan out in Dallas 76 ranking would make him the third-best player on the Mavs (if only going off the rankings) as he would only trail Davis and Kyrie Irving Grimes would have been the perfect player to re-sign this summer and keep for their future and he was ready to contribute for the Mavs right now Harrison knew that his team was going to lose tons of self-created offense with Doncic gone and Grimes was one of the only players on the team who could generate his own offense consistently Harrison being set on winning the NBA Finals as soon as possible and trading the better and younger player in the Grimes-Martin swap is confusing to say the absolute least and Mavericks fans' eyes will be glued to Grimes' trajectory to see just how badly they lost this trade Harrison's bets against young guards have not worked out for him over his time as the Mavs' GM (Jalen Brunson and Luka Doncic) and Grimes is in contention to join this list © 2025 Powered by Minute Media - All Rights Reserved Betting and gambling content is intended for individuals 21+ and is based on individual commentators' opinions and not that of Minute Media or its affiliates and related brands ","https://fansided.com/",{"alt":"68","src":"69","url":"6a"},{"type":"67","value":"6b"},"link","Powered by Minute Media","https://www.minutemedia.com/",{"text":"6e","url":"6f"},{"type":"6d","value":"6g"},"All Rights Reserved Betting and gambling content is intended for individuals 21+ and is based on individual commentators' opinions and not that of Minute Media or its affiliates and related brands where he has been passionately covering the Dallas Mavericks since the 2022-23 season With a Bachelor of Science in Sports Media from Oklahoma State University (Class of 2023) Noah has been immersed in sports journalism since 2019 His career has also included coverage of the Dallas Cowboys and Oklahoma State Cowboys but his heart now lies on the hardwood.\n\nNoah's expertise includes in-depth game analysis and offering unique perspectives through his reporting His work has been featured on major platforms such as ESPN and Bleacher Report Noah won first place in the Oklahoma Broadcast Education Association Awards for a show he co-produced.\n\nOutside of covering the Mavs Dallas gave up the better player in the deal while also losing an extremely valuable second-round pick, but Harrison didn't see it that way.

The stakes haven’t been this high since Jimmy Butler’s free agency and you know how that went There’s at least a chance to get this one right If Quentin Grimes plays just amazing enough to win a game or two more, and it costs the Sixers their 2025 NBA Draft pick and then the team doesn’t even bring him back in free agency?? I wouldn’t blame any fan who simply checked out after that Many New York and Dallas fans on X have been busy self-soothing by vocally dismissing this shocking Grimes explosion as mere garbage time stat-padding. But for those who have been watching on a nightly basis recently (or those who’ve read what our Greg Frank concluded upon further review of this very topic) Based on the Kansas (same as Joel Embiid) product’s staggeringly rapid ascension towards the NBA’s most recent top performers list it all begs the questions: will the Sixers steer this tank the right way and next will managing partners Josh Harris and David Blitzer be willing to shell out major cash if that’s what it takes to retain Grimes this offseason Our Bryan Toporek took a look earlier this March at whether or not the Sixers could afford to re-sign the soon-to-be restricted free agent this offseason The 76ers possess the right to match any offer Grimes — a 6-foot-4 shooting guard with the 6-8 wingspan — may fetch on the open market Teams like the Brooklyn Nets and Detroit Pistons pose the biggest threat Grimes has been a consistently stalwart defender throughout his career Texas native is teasing fans with signs of potential stardom — all at the ripe young age of 24 years old According to Yossi Gozlan of thirdapron.com Maybe Oubre opts in [to is 2025-2026 salary with Philadelphia] and [Andre] Drummond opts in maybe you can put those salaries together [and trade for] a $20M player Talked with @YossiGozlan about the Sixers salary cap outlook in re-signing Quentin Grimes a few weeks agoThe organization absolutely cannot let Grimes walk away this summer pic.twitter.com/yCZELG7d2T Toporek noted that teams like the Brooklyn Nets and Detroit Pistons could potentially even offer up to roughly $25M annually for Grimes this spring — forcing Daryl Morey and Elton Brand into some very difficult decisions — as the team’s front office will soon look to fill out a roster around an already pricy Big 3 of Tyrese Maxey But would Harris and Blitzer back up the Brinks to keep the team’s newest stud if Morey and Brand wanted to Like it or not, they’re going to try to compete next season. And Grimes may very well wind up even bumping one or two of that Big 3 down a peg on the 76ers’ pecking order It’s crazy to even muse about this idea but here we are Bizarro world with an almost Linsanity-like heater Now I know what some of you are thinking.. Morey will have landed an absolute goldmine of riches by trading away Caleb Martin and a future second-round pick for a two-way dynamo; but then Grimes will play well enough to cost them a top-five first-round pick and then ownership will get stingy and allow him to walk for nothing That specter of agony is unfortunately a very real threat fans must prepare for Morey and Brand may dread the idea of having to build a contender while facing restrictive apron penalties and hard caps intended to make executing future trades nearly impossible for the highest salaried franchises The scariest part about this version of Quentin Grimes? He's maintained his elite defensive impact while compounding his offensive usage. Tonight he has 37 (12-20) points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and a block against the NBA's second best defense.pic.twitter.com/tIa5U4cPrb The top 10 in Off-Ball Chaser Defense1.

And he’s still a ballhawk on defense who has now developed under three of the NBA’s best defensive minds in Tom Thibodeau, Jason Kidd and Nick Nurse. The former Knick and Mav has frankly been better than what the New York Knicks hoped Mikal Bridges (acquired by Leon Rose for five first-round picks and one first-round pick swap!) would be this season QG was retained for Martin and a second-rounder (though the team was later forced to send a second-rounder Dallas’ way because of Martin’s injury) What a fleecing — making the Mavs’ intentionally parting with Luka Doncic Kristaps Porzingis and Grimes in just a couple seasons one of the most nightmarish slews of squander perhaps not even Bryan Colangelo could muster But it could all go south for Philadelphia There are two extremes right now and they’re just about as far apart as you get in sports: Door A: the Sixers lose enough games to earn a top-five NBA Draft pick (including the chance to select and/or trade future star Cooper Flagg) and also pony up to keep Grimes in his RFA they win a few more games than Brooklyn or Toronto down the home stretch their pick conveys to the odds-on favorite to win it all and then Grimes walks because they didn’t want to match his salary The best possible road in a world of sports devoid of sure things is simply trusting the process The Oklahoma City Thunder have an injury report for tomorrow's game vs the Sixers:Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (rest): OUTLu Dort (hip): OUTJalen Williams (hip): OUTIsaiah Hartenstein (back): QUESTIONABLECason Wallace (shoulder): QUESTIONABLE How the Raptors haven't been investigated yet is beyond meThey once again sat their best players in crunch time of a close game and blew a 9-point lead 4Q to Portland. Barnes and Poeltl played 28 and 25 minutes, respectively. pic.twitter.com/g50BlDd9Uu Perhaps Nurse can make up for his share of the blame when he allowed Embiid to continue playing in Golden State now 13 months ago. To begin, he might have to limit Grimes’ minutes substantially. The team’s refusal to do tank well (like OKC’s Sam Presti has done very well now) could cost the team dearly, as Toporek argued (very persuasively). perhaps fans will continue rooting for other teams well beyond the final 10 ballgames A significant traffic shift is planned for April 1-2 at the intersection of A.W traffic will be shifted to the north side of the roadway to facilitate construction on the south side Drivers should expect delays and are encouraged to avoid the area if possible The work is part of the Gattis School Road Segment 3 project which will widen the roadway from four to six lanes The project is expected to be completed by early fall 2026 Round Rock’s digital newsletter providing residents news events and general information regarding city government Staff DirectoryMobile AppsAlerts Sign UpE-Subscribe City of Round Rock221 East Main StreetRound Rock
