Free agent guard Quentin Grimes has reached an agreement on a four-year, $60 million contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, according to Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report and TNT.
The deal secures a significant rotation piece for the Lakers, who have been active in searching for perimeter shooting and defensive versatility this offseason. Grimes, 24, brings a proven track record as a high-level "3-and-D" asset. Over his career, he has demonstrated the ability to guard multiple positions while providing reliable floor spacing for his teammates.
Before joining the Lakers, Grimes spent time with the New York Knicks, Detroit Pistons, and Dallas Mavericks. This multi-year commitment signals the Lakers' intent to build a younger, more athletic core around their veteran stars. The $15 million average annual value represents a significant investment in the young guard's future within the organization.
The move comes as one of the first major free agency splashes for the Lakers front office this summer. Grimes is expected to compete for a significant role in the backcourt rotation immediately, providing much-needed depth and defensive grit to the roster.
