The Grizzlies have negotiated with point guard Chucky Atkins over the past few days and the free-agent could re-sign with the team as soon as today, the Memphis Commercial-Appeal is reporting.
Atkins will likely agree to a two-year deal, with the Grizzlies expected to use part of the mid-level exception to retain his services.
Atkins repeatedly said that he wanted to remain in Memphis.
"Of the teams that wanted me, I felt this was best the situation for me," Atkins said in January. "It was more conducive to the style of basketball that I play. Plus, they're one of the top teams in the West, and I know you can't win without good chemistry and without having good players."
