During a recent episode of the Bleacher Report podcast, NBA insider Jake Fischer suggested that Memphis Grizzlies guard John Konchar could be a potential buyout candidate.
Although Konchar has played 29 games this season, his statistics have been relatively modest, which has led to speculation about his future with the team.
Konchar is currently in the first year of a three-year, $18.495 million contract, with the entire deal fully guaranteed. This situation makes a buyout unlikely, as both sides would likely face challenges in agreeing to terms that benefit them.
Given the size and guarantee of the contract, it would take a significant shift in circumstances for the Grizzlies to consider parting ways with Konchar in this manner.
Despite this, Fischer’s mention highlights the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Konchar’s role on the roster and the potential for movement before the season’s end.
