Grizzlies To Work On Buyout With Francis, should we at least try?
Chris Wallace, general manager of the Grizzlies, said the team and Steve Francis mutually agreed earlier this week to negotiate a contract buyout. Francis hasn't been with the team in more than a week and is in Houston with his family.
"I'm not sure when it will happen, but we're working out (a buyout)," Wallace said. "With older guys, it's always a possibility that you'd head in this direction."
Francis, 31, is scheduled to earn $2.64 million this season, the final year of his contract.
