    I can’t think of any impact players that the Warriors got through the buyout market in the past few years

    They don’t really get the chance to or even need to since their core was already set and actual FA’s want to go there anyways.

    The best 3 I can think of are Jonas Jerebko this year. He went unclaimed over summer and he was supposed to be an end of the bench guy getting spot minutes. Now he’s playing nearly 21 mpg, averaging more points and rebounds than he has since 8 years ago on a stacked Warriors team and he’s a big part of them winning.

    They also got both their starting and backup centers (Zaza and JaVale) from the previous couple seasons that way. They were able to make lemonade out of McGee and Zaza was a large part of their success without even putting up numbers.

    It would’ve been nice to have had McGee as a backup last year (came up big for them against us in wcf). We sure could use what Jerebko is doing for them.

    I’m hopeful/optimistic Rivers is going to be an impact player for us. We kinda need him to be but he’s got the skill-set and opportunity to make it happen.

    Mostly semantics here, but the Warriors signed all of those players in the offseason. Haven’t seen them nab a key acquisition mid-year. Us, Philly and Boston have all fared better in the past few years

    If Demarre Carroll gets bought out DM should pursue him as a backup 4 for PJ.

    No problem at all. Numbers get updated all the time with so many games. You are just as accurate as I was in this instance.

    After reviewing contracts and team records Idk that there is going to be a rotation player available.

    Honestly Ariza and Mba Moute are best shots haha.

    Dudley has drunk something from the fountain of youth. I don't expect him to be bought out, but he would be a nice vet pickup for Houston. I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up on GS though.

    Would love to see Jared Dudley here. Buyout candidates that I’ve heard rumors about:
    Iman Shumpert
    Kenneth Faried
    JR Smith
    Jamal Crawford
    Wesley Matthews
    Dragan Bender
    Robin Lopez
    Jabari Parker
    Anthony Tolliver
    Alec Burks

    Shumpert, Wesley, Tolliver and maybe Robin might be able to help the Rockets out.

    I like Shumpert and it would be good if Jeff Green were Available now that Washington's team is falling apart

    I like it. I don't see Carroll being bought out since the Nets are getting better. However, if he does get bought out, then he can be a boost at the 4.

    I don't see Demarr being bought out but I think we could trwde for him.

    One mans trash is another mans treasure. Don't think there were too many that though Rivers, Green it House would have the impact they are having.

    If anyone can find them I reckon Moreys the man

    Jeff Green would be an awesome addition on our Rockets.
    Demarre's contract is a bit more than Knight's. Unfortunately, no one wants him. His knee injury prevents him physically and mentally from taking and making jumpers.
