Report: Memphis Grizzlies do not plan on Iguodala buyout

According to reports from Shams Charania (The Athletic, Stadium), the Memphis Grizzlies have informed star Forward Andre Iguodala that they expect him to report to training camp, and that they have no plans on buying Iguodala out from his contract:

Sources: Memphis wants three-time champion Andre Iguodala to report to training camp and is refusing right now to engage in buyout, which would prevent Iguodala from finishing a Hall of Fame career on his terms because this may be his final NBA season.

At about 5:30 pm CST, Charania sent out the above tweet, which began to imply some frustrations between Iguodala and the organization because of this decision, and soon after, he sent out a follow-up:

Iguodala is VP of NBPA, one of league’s most respected and desires a contender at this stage.
