Kevin Garnett has one year remaining on his contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves valued at $8 million.

Garnett missed the final 37 games of the season due to a leg injury but he continued to be with the team in a mentoring role.

"I pride myself on being loyal," said Garnett. "I think I've proven that by coming back home to finish my career. I need to see how the next few weeks turn out to truly understand if everyone has that same loyalty. Then I will know what my future holds."

Glen Taylor has been actively seeking to sell 30 percent of the franchise to a group led by private equity investor Steve Kaplan and just hired Tom Thibodeau as the Wolves' new coach and president of basketball operations in a five-year deal valued at an estimated $40 million.

Talks between Taylor and Kaplan are ongoing.

Before Garnett was traded to the Wolves in February of 2015, Adrian Wojnarowski reported Garnett could become a minority owner and consultant with the franchise once he retires.

Seth Curry will decline his $1 million player option for the 16-17 season with the Sacramento Kings to become a restricted free agent.

Curry averaged 6.8 points, 1.5 assists and 1.4 rebounds in 44 games this season and established himself as an NBA rotational guard.

After going unselected in the 2013 draft out of Duke, Curry played in the NBA Development League and on 10-day contracts with Cleveland, Memphis and Phoenix. 

Curry's play in Summer League with the Pelicans led to a two-year guaranteed deal with the Kings.

Ivan Rabb remains undecided about whether he'll leave Cal to declare for the 2016 NBA Draft.

Rabb is expected to be a lottery pick if he declares.

“I’m just not sure. It’s a big decision. It’s my whole life,” said Rabb.

Rabb went to high school near Cal at Bishop O'Dowd in Oakland.

Jared Dudley would like to re-sign with the Washington Wizards this offseason but he's seeking a three-year deal.

Dudley exercised his $4.25 million player option last offseason knowing back surgery was likely. Dudley figures to get a raise with the cap increasing.

“I thought I held my end of the bargain when it came to Ernie [Grunfeld] trading for me even though I was hurt at the time,” Dudley said after the Wizards’ season finale. “Going forward, I could definitely see me coming back. As I told some other reporters, I’m never anybody’s first or second or third option, I’m your fourth option. So if you don’t get your girlfriend you want right away, I’m the one at the end. For me, it’s no problem. You know what I can do in this system. When I play, I play the right way.”

Dudley played both forward positions for the Wizards.

“For me, the two things I wanted to basically show this year, for one, I wanted to show that I was healthy and show I could play the four,” Dudley said. “I thought I did that for 80 percent of the season.”

The Washington Wizards hired the ex-coach of Kevin Durant in Scott Brooks but it is not expected to make a difference in his free agency decision.

Friends say Durant isn't keen on returning to his hometown. Durant's inner circle has tightened considerably in recent years and he isn't interested in dealing with distant friends and family members.

Durant's lone visit to Washington this season was stressful, according to sources.

Durant respects Brooks and even missed him at various points in the season. Despite Brooks' limitations as a head coach, Durant knew he held everyone accountable and had a track record of player development.

Paul Pierce had a postseason DNP-CD in the Los Angeles Clippers' Game 2 win. It was the first of his career as his minutes continue to decline.

Pierce averaged just 18.1 minutes per game this season, scoring 6.1 points and connecting on 36.3 percent of his shots.

Pierce hopes to influence the Clippers even as a mentor but he's frustrated not to be out there.

"It is what it is," Pierce told The Vertical, his voice trailing off. "It is what it is. It's difficult. As a competitor, you want to compete and help your team win. A close game – I've been in those situations lots of times. When you have competed at a high level, it's difficult."

This playoffs run with the Clippers could be the final games of Pierce's career.

"The last few years it has been an end-of-the-season decision," Pierce told The Vertical. "I'll make that decision after this season, too."

Few within the Clippers' organization would be surprised if Pierce decides to retire.

Chris Wallace is confident the Memphis Grizzlies will re-sign Mike Conley Jr.

There was a report from CBS Sports' Ken Berger last week that indicated Conley was likely to leave the Grizzlies.

"We are undefeated in re-signing our core players, and we will remain so. We are going to re-sign Mike Conley," said Wallace.

The Grizzlies re-signed Marc Gasol last offseason

Quincy Acy will decline his option for next season with the Sacramento Kings to become a free agent.

Acy's player option is worth $1.05 million.

Acy signed with the Kings on a two-year deal in the 2015 offseason.

Acy averaged 5.2 points and 3.2 rebounds in 14.8 minutes per game for the Kings.

Elton Brand came out of retirement in January to give the Philadelphia 76ers a veteran presence amid their frustrating season, but he's unlikely to return next season.

“Yeah, I got real sore and real tired and frustrated. I got everything I wanted,” Brand said, chuckling. “I got to know these guys and help the organization any way I could. I had a good time.”

Brand believes the 76ers have a promising future.

“In my opinion, the future looks bright. Really bright.

“We have some really high-level players,” he said. “It’s just youth. It takes a few years, a year or two. Guys have made leaps and bounds. You have high draft picks coming in, a lot of flexibility in the cap. So the future looks bright.”

DeMar DeRozan will be a free agent this offseason coming off a career year with the Toronto Raptors.

DeRozan was the ninth overall pick in 2009 out of USC.

"He's enjoying his last days in Toronto because he'll leaving for Los Angeles in a few months anyways," said Smith of DeRozan.

While Smith doesn't specify which team from Los Angeles he predicts will sign DeRozan, it is presumably the Los Angeles Lakers given their needs on the wing and available cap space.
