Updated · 2026-27 season

Quentin Grimes is on the books for $13,953,489 in 2026-27, the 4th largest cap hit on the Los Angeles Lakers roster and 7.1% of the team's $196.7M payroll.

That ranks 138th among the 434 players with a 2026-27 salary on the books, and eats 8.5% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 4 seasons left on it, running through 2029-30, worth $60,000,000 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $13,953,489 in the first year up to $16,046,511 in the last, a 15% rise across the deal.

Not every year is locked in: 2029-30 player option.

The option year belongs to the player, not the team — he decides whether to take the money or return to the market, so the team cannot count on it either way.

At 26, the deal covers his age-26 through age-29 seasons — the prime years teams are usually paying a premium for.

He is the 4th highest-paid of the 15 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.

He is one of 15 players on the Los Angeles Lakers' books for 2026-27, whose 2026-27 salaries add up to $196,696,242.
