Grimes wants to establish himself as a starter during training camp, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports. According to Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com, Grimes also said that he takes pride in his defense and will be ready to guard the opposing team's best player on a nightly basis, which should help him secure a regular starting role. Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves and Walker Kessler are all essentially locked in as starters to begin the season, though head coach JJ Redick will have training camp and the preseason to evaluate the final two spots. Grimes is coming off a productive 2025-26 season with Philadelphia, averaging 13.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 0.9 steals in 29.4 minutes per game across 75 regular-season outings (19 starts). He shot a career-low 33.4 percent from three-point range last season but is still a career 36.6 percent shooter from deep.

Grimes is viewed as a lock to occupy one of the Lakers' starting spots entering training camp, according to Jovan Buha of Buha's Block. Grimes is expected to join Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves and Walker Kessler as four established members of the starting five, leaving only one position unsettled. The offseason addition should complement Doncic and Reaves with his perimeter defense and ability to operate away from the ball, putting Grimes in line for a substantial role in his first season with Los Angeles.

Grimes figures to have an opportunity to fill the two-way role the Lakers need on the perimeter, with his defensive ability potentially being just as important as his production on the offensive end, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports. Grimes is an athletic, aggressive guard capable of applying pressure at the point of attack, while his physicality and activity should give Los Angeles another option against opposing perimeter scorers. Grimes' willingness to attack offensively also adds another dimension beyond his spot-up shooting, though his overall impact could depend heavily on the makeup of the starting five.

Grimes agreed to a four-year, $60 million deal with the Lakers on Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. The Lakers continue to add some firepower to their roster after acquiring Walker Kessler, Sandro Mamukelashvili and Collin Sexton. Grimes will likely be a key part of the second unit in Los Angeles with his ability to play multiple positions. During the 2025-26 regular season, Grimes averaged 13.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 0.9 steals in 29.4 minutes per contest.

Grimes posted six points (2-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt) and one block in 16 minutes during Sunday's 144-114 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Following an impressive finish to 2024-25 with Philadelphia, Grimes ended up settling for a one-year deal with the 76ers for 2025-26 and turned in an up-and-down campaign. It remains to be seen if he'll command a multi-year deal ahead of 2026-27, whether it be with Philadelphia or elsewhere. Over 75 regular-season games, Grimes averaged 13.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.7 three-pointers in 29.4 minutes per tilt.
