Here is a list of veteran unrestricted free agents-to-be who play for rebuilding teams who areunlikely to re-sign them and, as a result, are candidates to be bought out or waived following the Feb 20 trade deadline. These sorts of players typically sign on with a contender for the rest of the year to a prorated veteran's minimum salary. Kris Humphries Richard Jefferson Marvin Williams Brandon Rush Jimmer Fredette Steve Blake Jodie Meeks Ryan Farmar Wesley Johnson Greg Stiemsma Jason Smith Emeka Okafor Andriis Biedrins Chris Kaman Aaron Gray Caron Butler Luke Ridnour Keith Bogans Ryan Gomes Charlie Villanueva
Stephen Jackson could be an interesting candidate too. Released by the Clippers 3 weeks ago and was at the Rockets game last night.
3/4ths of the names on that list are not even close to being in situations where they would even be considered to be bought out of their contracts. Smh. Do yall even watch basketball and know the current events of other teams?
Its a shame he can't shoot anymore, on top of having bad shot selection. And there's no way he wouldn't rock the boat with the way McHale handles rotations. But, you know what, I'm ready to write this season off as a development year. We can't generate any offense in the halfcourt, we play D like its optional, and we're softer than baby ****. I am absolutely on board for Stephen "I make love to pressure" Jackson. The dude can pass, feed bigs in the post, defend, and maybe his heart rubs off on one of these guys. There's no way he's worse than Garcia.
