Marreese Speights has opted out of his $2.1 million contract, making him a free agent according to CBS. Most likely, the big man will test the free agency market and sign on with a contender, much like he did with the LA Clippers last offseason.
This doesn’t bode well for the Clips, as they already will have a lot of trouble signing bench players if they are able to hold onto Chris Paul and Blake Griffin. Speights shot a career high from three point range this season and was a perfect compliment to both Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan.
