Perhaps the most intriguing buyout prospect on the list. Tyreke Evans has suddenly revived his career with the Memphis Grizzlies this season averaging 19.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists which are close to his remarkable 20-5-5 year during his rookie season last 2010.

The former NBA Rookie of the Year Awardee was expected to be moved by Memphis during the deadline but wanting a first round pick in return made halted those deals thus leaving the Grizzlies with no choice but to likely waive him.

Evans who has sat out for the past week with the expectation of being traded will generate a lot of attention from contender squads who are looking to get the most of his production this season during the playoffs.

Expected to make a shot for Evans is the Boston Celtics who tried to trade for him during deadline but failed to do so after the Grizzlies declined their offer of two second-round picks and Guerschon Yabusele.
