Memphis Grizzlies renounce rights to Chris Mihm, Darius Miles and Mike Wilks
The Memphis Grizzlies have renounced their rights to free agents Chris Mihm, Darius Miles and Mike Wilks, Grizzlies General Manager and Vice President of Basketball Operations Chris Wallace announced today.
Free agency is like a row of dominoes, and when one domino tips over, the others start to fall as well.
Hoping to better position themselves financially to re-sign unrestricted free agents Trevor Ariza and Lamar Odom, the Lakers did whatever they could during Thursday's NBA draft to avoid taking on unneeded salary and deadweight.
The Lakers will officially close the books on their championship season with Wednesday's victory parade and a few days' worth of individual exit meetings, but one question won't be answered amid all the confetti and congratulations.
