Grizzlies' shooting guard Juan Carlos Navarro has decided to re-sign with FC Barcelona, ending his NBA career for now.
Navarro, who earned $538,000 with the Grizzlies last season, will earn between $20 million and $24 million over the next four years in Spain. Memphis will miss his outside shooting, but they also had a bit of a traffic jam at his position. They're still on the hook for a first-round draft pick they traded to the Wizards to acquire his rights, which is protected through the 19th pick this year. J-C-N is G-O-N-E.

It's a shame that he is gone. He filled in nicely when Mike Conley was hurt last season. He is a great shooter, and with the Mike Miller trade rumors heating up, the Grizzlies might not have a very good outside shooter next season. The Grizzlies will miss his shooting ability, although they were loaded at guard with Kyle Lowry, Mike Miller, Javaris Crittenton, Mike Conley, and Rudy Gay along with Navarro.
