Something to monitor here, as there has been some other reporting that SAC told Vezenkov that he's not really in their plans.
But he can't just choose to leave. He has a guaranteed contract for 2024-25 without an option. SAC would be on the hook for his salary if they waived him, barring something very unlikely where he turned his $6.6M deal into a non-guarantee or a full buyout.
Maybe there's a trade in the works that both sides find agreeable? A little unexpected wrinkle here leading up to FA opening in a few weeks.
Difficult to find a fit for him in the modern NBA. With his defensive short comings he needs to be featured on offense to be a net positive but NBA teams aren't running their offense through set plays for off ball scorers. Maybe the Warriors or Nuggets.
