Decision on Juan Carlos Navarro Today

According to reports, the deadline for a deal for Juan Carlos Navarro is today, August 3rd. His Barcelona club lowered his buyout from around $14M to $2M, but in order to prepare for their upcoming season they will raise that sum back up to its previous position.

Right now, the Wizards have a handful of suitors but have faced criticism because they have been asking for too much in return. Teams have been walking away from the negotiations.

The favorite right now is the Memphis Grizzlies, who have had Pau Gasol pushing them to go get his best friend this offseason. Of course Miami has had serious discussions but there have been remarks that the Wizards are asking for too much and the Heat won't pay the price to land JCN. Another wildcard is the Boston Celtics, who have recently landed a guy you may have heard of and feel the need to shore up their roster and its depth.

At any rate, we'll know later today where Juan Carlos Navarro is heading - if it is to the NBA at all.
