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 6.9% of the team's $200.9M payroll.

That ranks 137th among the 444 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 16 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.

He is one of 16 players on the Los Angeles Lakers' books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $200,897,322.

Los Angeles Lakers sit at $200.9M in payroll and are currently classified Tax Payer, with +$8.1M of room below the first apron.
