The Memphis Grizzlies are still awaiting a very important decision from center Jonas Valanciunas. The Lithuanian must decide whether he will opt into the final year of his contract (worth $17.6 million) or opt out and hit the NBA Free-Agency pool.
If Valanciunas were to choose the latter and partake in NBA Free-Agency, he would be one of the top centers available. Depending upon others’ player/team option decisions, he would potentially join top names such as Al Horford, Marc Gasol, Brook Lopez, Kristaps Porzingis, Nikola Vucevic, Hassan Whiteside, and DeAndre Jordan.
