    Surprised by this. While he COULD go back to Memphis, now he can look anywhere.

    Not a bad player though I wonder what his market value is in today's NBA.

    Would an NBA team with a need at center rather have him or Vucevic?

    I'm not surprised. If he tears an achilles a team isn't signing him to a big contract. He should be able to get at or close to what his option was (if not more by some random team), with 4 years of guarantee. While the sample size wasn't huge, 20/10 with Memphis was 20/10 with Memphis. It won't get better next year.

    Plus there's lots of teams with cap space, although you wouldn't really pencil him in for Clippers, Nets.
