Yabusele, who agreed to a two-year deal with the Knicks, said leaving the Sixers was "not a major key," but their offer didn't compare to New York's.

Grimes is a restricted free agent so the Sixers have a chance to match any deal that he signs, but Yabusele is unrestricted. That means Philadelphia's options with him out of its control as it moves forward in free agency.
