Buyout Market

[mo7888]

Who ya got?

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Mo Bamba's last NBA chance before he'd need to learn chinese.

Could be his thread name.

[scott]

Reports that Ben Simmons might hit the buyout market, but that he may likely be headed to CLE. Would be wild if he finally ended up here on a buyout when a lot of people here wanted to trade DJM + picks for him :lol

I'm in favor of Mo... a Lil pun intended..

Who do we think gets bought out around the league?

Yeah I know we lack shooting but I would take him.

[Dverde]

I’ll take a flyer on Clint Capela. Still only 30.

Theis is being waived by OKC

[Spursfanfromafar]

Per Hollinger -


The Thunder have waived Daniel Theis, per team release, opening a roster spot that might be used to promote 2-way rookie Ajay Mitchell. Theis can be signed by any team other than New Orleans and likely will have suitors in the buyout market.

There's another option, just in case.

[mo7888]

We have options...

[LeBowen]

We need to get someone, it shouldn't be that hard to get an experienced big...right?
Is Gorgui still on the coaching staff? He can suit up, tbh.

If we don't make the play-in, lack of an actual backup big will be the main reason.

[exstatic]

I know Thies isn’t bad, but man, he looks like a Prison extra from American History X.

[SpursFan86]

Just hard to imagine we don’t do anything at the center position. I like Bassey but he’s not exactly the most reliable guy from an availability standpoint (hell, it doesn’t seem super serious but he’s dealing with a knee injury as we speak). I also like Mamu but he doesn’t bring a whole lot defensively.

We’re already shaky even with Wemby available. God forbid Wemby misses any real amount of time…things get could ugly quick.

[spurraider21]

theis plays phsyical but he's still undersized.

[scott]

Yeah, even if it's just another Bassey-like character (2-way guy let go from another team), we need another body. It's roster malpractice to have your only backup C be a guy with multiple season-ending knee injuries (and isn't really that good to begin with)

[Spursfanfromafar]

I would also think the Spurs will take a flyer on someone like Henry Ellenson of the Wisconsin Herd in the G-League on a 10-day contract. Dude has been balling in the G-league. More of an offensive threat than a defensive one. But a tall and warm body that the Spurs can use to spare some minutes for Wemby and insurance for Sochan at C.

Potential buyout candidates with salaries above the $12.8 million mid-level:

Malcolm Brogdon
Bruce Brown
Ben Simmons
Bojan Bogdanovic

The Celtics, Nuggets, Lakers, Bucks, Wolves, Knicks, and Suns wouldn't be able to sign these players since they're above the first apron.

[Mr. Body]

I'd grab Theis and call it.

[Trueblood]

I’ll take a flyer on Clint Capela. Still only 30.

This is my pick if he gets bought out. Question is does he want to come here or go somewhere that he knows he can start?

[scott]

Marvin Bagley is on Spotrac's list of buyout candidates.

Would be very cool with taht.

[Knoxxx]

Do we then get the player for league min?

[venitian navigator]

Bamba and Reddish imho could be two decent options...

[exstatic]

Bamba and Reddish imho could be two decent options...

Reddish is awful. There’s a reason he’s bounced around so much. I remember during his draft run up that he was selected one of the most likely to bust in his class.

No thanks on Ben Simmons. How many examples do we need from that kid to know he's not it?

I don't need any more... I was one of the few on this site saying that DJM was better than Simmons when half this board wanted to trade Dejounte plus picks.

I just think it would be funny.

:wtf did scott ‘s account get hacked!?

Haha. Man, I hope by now over 20+ years (and several more before that at Dusty Garza's shit site) that I've demonstrated that I try to be as reasonable and objective as possible. I'm a Bassey stan for off-the-court reasons, but I can acknowledge his shortcomings. I think he still has a ton of potential to be a good rotational backup in the league for years to come, but it's clear to me that he doesn't fully know how to play basketball at this point. He's got an elite feel for rebounding and shot blocking, but he just looks lost out there. To his defense, he's missed a lot of his developmental years being injured. I hope we keep him as a long term 3rd/emergency/mascot big in the hopes that he takes a leap... but I can see him for what he is.

jalen hood-schifino waived by jazz. he was known to be an unfinished product, but two teams quitting on him in 1.5 years is rough

I felt like he was a favorite of some of our resident draft gurus here. Not trying to call them out, but just a reminder that the draft has variance and you can't win 'em all

[mo7888]

I had him #20 in that draft

i didnt hate him but i definitely had him below black, bufkin, wallace. trading up againt to grab bufkin was my favorite scenario

[SpursBills]

Hated JHS - negative BPM (-0.4), terrible steal rate, couldn't get to the line at all, midrange volume was triple his rim volume = non-prospect to me


But on the other hand, I had Reed Sheppard #1 last year in his own tier and saw him as the second coming of Jeff Hornacek, so just goes to show that different scouting methods each have their own strengths and weaknesses :lol

Sheppard could still become a Hornacek or other good type. JHS was always just bad.

I think he appears to have the tools but he has the worse case of the yips I've ever seen. That's me assuming his yips aren't his normal form and his better moments aren't yips.

[ismael-robert]

Simmons to run 2nd unit why not

[T Park]

Capela then Theis.

Doubtful Olynyk becomes available.

[venitian navigator]

decent?

Decent/reasonable... considering what we need.
Both 25/26 years old, Athletic, good at defense and with a 3 point shot. They are supposedly still in their prime and were considered top ten draft picks. They both cost no big Money, probably you can have both at the minimum the minimum...at the point of their career and at this point of out goals for this season they both look tò me as loe risk High reward players...and they both seem tò be good guys...

[montgod]

Capela then Theis.

Doubtful Olynyk becomes available.

Did anyone read where Capela is going to be bought out? I doubt he'll be available till season ends unfortunately.

After missing five straight games due to a back injury, Capela is now being listed as out for Friday due to personal reasons. The veteran big man will aim to rejoin the team on the second leg of Atlanta's back-to-back, which comes Saturday in Washington.


He'll play, but I don't see why would the Hawks buy him out. Unless he gives up a lot of money, which he has no reason to.

Yeah that's what I thought as well. It's no point at this stage of his career where he knows he might not see a big payday moving forward.

[mo7888]

Capela was ruled out of our game for "personal reasons". If nothing has been reported on what they are I'd guess it's simply him being disgruntled, in which case I'd expect a buyout.

Or just something personal like a family issue or whatever. He doesn't seem like the disgruntled type but I could be wrong.

[Spurs Homer]

Boban?

Could be...but he was listed as out with an injury in the previous games...then it switched to personal reasons... make of it what you will..

Boban?

Boban is currently sitting behind the bench in Euroleague

Pretty sure I saw him die in John Wick 3. I don't think you come back from that.
