#2 Chandler Parsons
Chandler Parsons is currently signed to a four-year, $94 million deal that he was given by the Grizzlies back in 2016. However, persistent knee injuries have restricted him to less than fifty starts in his three seasons with the team, and during the 18/19 campaign, Parsons appeared in a career-low 25 games.
Due to his lack of value market, a trade appears unlikely this summer, although David Cobb of Memphis Commercial Appeal is reporting that a buyout remains a possibility:

If the Grizzlies and Parsons wanted to move on without a trade, a contract buyout could be an option. Would Parsons be willing to give the Grizzlies a discount on the $25.1 million he is owed? If so, it would provide the Grizzlies some cap relief and allow Parsons to move on with his career
Still aged just 30, Parsons could still find success in the NBA, although his current contract offers no value to the Grizzlies.
