Elton Brand said Thursday that he'll take several weeks to decide whether or not the 2014-15 season will be his last in the NBA, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Analysis:

The 16-year veteran appeared in only 36 games this season, serving primarily in a mentorship role for the 60-win Hawks. Brand, who's dealt with a number of injuries since entering the league in 1999, is unlikely to fetch more than a veteran's minimum deal, but he'd likely draw interest from a contending team in search of frontcourt depth and strong leadership.
