Training camps are starting today and teams are starting the grind for next season. Some teams are still finalizing their roster with the qualifying offers expiring this October 2. Jamychal Green and the Memphis Grizzlies have now finalized a deal for the next couple of years. With Parsons healthy and Green coming back the Grizzlies are still looking solid in the tough west. The Kings have also decided to extend Vlade Divac's contract as they commit to Divac's rebuilding plan for the organization.
Green and Memphis finally reach deal
The Grizzlies have undergone numerous changes this season with the departure of Zach Randolph and Vince Carter.
The Grizzlies will continue with Marc Gasol, Mike Conley, Chandler Parsons, and JaMychal Green as their main core next season. Shams Charania of The Vertical has reported that JaMychal Green and the Memphis Grizzlies have finally agreed on a two-year 17 million dollar contract for next season.Green is a restricted free agent this offseason and had only until this Sunday to accept the Grizzlies qualifying offer. This move will substantially make the Memphis Grizzlies the same team as last year minus Zach Randolph and Vince Carter.
JaMychal Green went undrafted in the 2012 NBA, he then joined the San Antonio Spurs training camp later that offseason. A few years later he got signed by the San Antonio Spurs but was then waived a few days later.
In 2015 JaMychal Green finally found a home when he signed with the Memphis Grizzlies. He only played 20 games in his first season with Memphis but on his second and third season, he became an integral part of the Grizzlies roster. He had career averages of 7.5 points, 0.4 blocks, 0.5 blocks, 0.9 assists, and 5.4 rebounds while shooting 48.7 percent from the field, 35.9 percent from the three-point line, and 75.5 percent from the free throw line.
Divac will continue to lead Kings rebuild
Last season the Sacramento Kings traded away DeMarcus Cousins to the New Orleans Pelicans, this move shifted the franchise to a full rebuild with the departure of their franchise player. NBA.com and Kings.com have reported that Vlade Divac's contract has been extended through the 2019-2020 season.
This will ensure that Divac will lead the Sacramento Kings to rebuild for the next two-three seasons. Vlade Divac was signed hired by the Sacramento Kings last 2015 to be their General Manager. Kings fans are not excited about the rebuild but after drafting De'Aaron Fox in the draft they at least have something to be happy about.
