ESPN front office insider Bobby Marks sees Andre Iguodala and the Memphis Grizzlies taking the buyout route once training camp starts in late September.

Iguodala is owed $17.2 million next season, the final year of his contract. The 2015 Finals MVP isn't expected to play a single game for the Grizzlies, who are rebuilding the franchise around point guard Ja Morant and big man Jaren Jackson Jr.

The Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers and Houston Rockets are reportedly interested in Iguodala. Marks doesn't see the Grizzlies trading Iguodala, who was dealt by the Golden State Warriors to Memphis this offseason. The Warriors had to trade Iguodala to free up cap space to sign D'Angelo Russell to a four-year max contract.

Last season for the Warriors, Iguodala averaged 5.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.2 assists while shooting 50.0 percent from the field, 33.3 percent from beyond the arc and 58.2 percent from the free-throw line. The 35-year-old swingman put up 9.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 4.0 assists in the 2019 playoffs.

The Lakers would love to get their hands on Iguodala. The Clippers already have four elite defenders in Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, Patrick Beverley and Montrezl Harrell, so adding Iguodala would arguably give them the best defensive team in NBA history.
