Sixers To Likely Buyout Kapono
Feb 24, 2011 11:58 AM EST


Jason Kapono and the Sixers will likely negotiate a buyout following the trade deadline.

Kapono has played just 89 minutes this season.

The Celtics, Lakers, Thunder and Hornets are all expected to show interest once Kapono once he clears waivers.

Don't do it, Mitch.

[DJ Mbenga]

the sad thing is he is probably a better shooter than anyone one on our team.

Decent low rent option to anyone in need of a shooter. Didn't he play in Miami before going to the North Pole? Might be worth a look if they can move Miller for a big.

Can see the Hornets go after him. They would be a tough team to match up with. Great perimeter players and great inside players.

i believe he won the 3 pt shooting contest while down here in Miami

what i remember of him - he was way overpaid by the raptors and riley did not want to match it, so kapono left the heat.

he was too small to properly defend, kinda slow, can shoot well... but bench fodder at best, and not someone you would seriously want to throw out on the floor in the playoffs.
