Im thinking about this whole Danuel House negotiation. It seems that one of the reasons it hasn't been resolved yet is due to the fact that we want to stay flexible to pursue buyouts . Now , I don't have a very high opinion of the players you can generally get in the buyout market But , I also don't follow other teams very much .... so I actually don't have a strong idea of who is likely to be available . So , I'll ask my CF bretheren . Who are some guys that are likely to be bought out ? Who are some guys that we can fill in for the mystery player we are saving our flexibility for ? Because I would really rather have HOUSE right now than wait to sign some mediocre veteran with that portion of the MLE . So , anyone can help cheer me up and name some players that are likely to be available? I guess the other reason we are waiting is to try to use House in trades ? Makes sense , but it seems kinda shitty to sign a houston kid to a 2-way contract , have him play great for his hometown team where he wants to stay , and leverage his contract into a tradeable asset .
Not that I disagree but what's the likelihood he gets bought out ? The nets are over 500 and he plays 25 mpg for them
Sure but why would you think he's gonna be available on the buyout market . You know who else would be a great get ? Kevin Durant
Was hoping we could get Carroll, especially after his injury, but he didn't miss a beat and is playing well for a team with a great shot at the playoffs in a weak East. Not a buyout, but the Pacer's Thad Young....
Players likely to get bought out imo: Lin Vince Carter Alec Burks Frye Mack Casspi Jamaal Crawford Z.Bo Players that could still get a buy out if they don't get traded and/or their team will fall quickly in the standings in the next weeks (see the Nets, Pistons, Pelicans etc): Dedmon Carroll Dudley Robin Lopez Rodney Hood Ish Smith Calderon Ellington Hezonja Burke Ross Jeff Green Ariza Matthews DeAndre Isaiah Thomas Gortat Beasley Temple Tim Frazier Darius Miller Wes Johnson Bender Koufos Shumpert Probably forgot some names but, yeah...
Wing players I like to see: Ellington, J. Green, Matthews. (Maybe Shumpert/Temple) If we need another big men, I wouldn't mind Robin Lopez if he can hit threes for us.
Temple is a possibility. However, the Kings aren’t buying out Shumpert, and I doubt the Knicks would consider buying out Lee until next season.
I like those names too, seems like Lopez would join the Warriors if bought out though...so, i hope the Bulls trade him or keep him if that's true.
