Green is expected to exercise his $9.2 million player option for next season, ESPN's Marc Stein reports.

Analysis:

While this is somewhat speculative on Stein's part, he reports that the current, prevailing belief out of Memphis is that Green will return next season. The forward, who came over mid-season in a trade with Boston, failed to make the impact Memphis hoped, which may have diminished his potential value on the open market. That said, Green is represented by David Falk, who Stein notes is among the most aggressive agents when it comes to pursuing contracts, so Green's future is certainly far from set in stone at this point. Green averaged 13.1 points and 4.2 rebounds for the Grizzlies after averaging 17.6 points and 4.3 rebounds for Boston, where he was more of a primary fixture on the offensive end.
