The Greeks

Both KK and Calathes will be FA the next summer. What contract do you think that will command? Calathes also is very likely to come back to Europe

The Grizzlies are likely not to keep Koufos as he will demand more money. The best case scenario the Grizz should look into is a sign and trade scenario. To at least get back another center in return if possible. As for Calathes, very tough to say. The Grizzlies could sign him to a deal or worse case scenario, they lose him to free agency.

I can uderstand what you are saying but i am asking more about the salary that those players can command on the open market.

Koufos is just 25yrs old. He is likely to ask between 5 to 7 million for next three to four years yrs. I look for Calathes to go between two to three million per year likely in the two to three year range.

Calathes can make way more in Europe so most probably is coming back...

Actually I believe Calathes may actually get resigned for around 2 - 2.5 million a year on a multi year deal. The coach loves him, he wants to be an NBA player and he brings a ton of versatility to the squad. Kosta is priced out unless, Marc Gasol leaves during free agency which is unlikely.
