Miles Plumlee

After spending the first seven seasons of his career in the NBA, Plumlee has elected to ply his trade overseas since he was cut by the Grizzlies in training camp in October. Before joining the Australian club, Plumlee had a brief stint in the Chinese Basketball Association in December, appearing in seven games for the Zhejiang Lions.

After spending the first seven seasons of his career in the NBA, Plumlee has elected to ply his trade overseas since he was cut by the Grizzlies in training camp in October. Before joining the Australian club, Plumlee had a brief stint in the Chinese Basketball Association in December, appearing in seven games for the Zhejiang Lions.

Plumlee was acquired in July in what was essentially a bad-contract swap with the Hawks. It's unsurprising that he has been let go by the rebuilding Grizzlies. He may be able to latch on with another team as a second or third center off the bench.

In what is essentially a bad-contract swap for both teams, Plumlee will land on his sixth team in his seven-year career. Dealing with knee issues, he played just 18 games last season, and he hasn't cracked the 1,000-minute mark since 2014-15. It's unlikely he carries a fantasy-relevant role for next season.

Plumlee has been sidelined since December with soreness in his left knee and remained without a clear timetable since then. The Hawks should have an update on Plumlee's timetable once the operation is complete, but it is unclear as to what the big man's future in the league is. Given that Plumlee will be on an expiring contract next season, he may be a valuable trade asset for the Hawks should they want to make improvements to their young core in the offseason.
