Surprised no one's started it yet. This could be one of the best buyout periods in a long time.
Supposedly, the Sixers will be releasing players soon. Curious to see who those are.
Some players that fit the profile of a typical buyout candidate:
Charlie V
Caron Butler
Ben Gordon
Chris Kaman
Jordan Hill
Jimmer
I'm not saying that the Spurs should be interested in any of this guys if they hit the market, just trying to identify players that may become available in time to add for the playoffs.
Earl Clark
MWP
Marvin Williams
Danny Granger

Spurs have either gambled and lost or just flat out made mistakes with their off season moves + trade deadline move. This is the only shot Spurs have at righting the wrongs that currently exist.
Charlie V imo, that scrub would be the best fit and the 4th big spot is as open as ever...
Never know, that Granger trade came out of nowhere the past few mins. Maybe the Spurs did get something else done?
Thanks, Bruno for merging so I didn't look dumb for starting another thread.
Earl Clark's my pick if Philly lets him go. MWP may agree to waive his option and get bought out.
Add Marvin Williams of the Jazz as a possibility as well.
, even if Ganger sucks, you have to think he's the buyout candidate who's most likely to contribute at a high level.
this is the best trade we've made since RJ
Can Bonner get bought out?
Granger isn't getting bought out.
No we absolutely need his corporate knowledgeCan Bonner get bought out?.
Why not?
IMO Philly prolly legitimately thinks he'll be a solid building block for the future. He isn't that far removed from being an above-average SF talent in the league. We know those days are over, but the GMs in this league can be pretty damn re ed.
Right. There was no rationale to make that trade unless they have plans with him after this year.
You really haven't been paying attention to what Philly has been doing since the summer.
Charlie Villanueva- no, tbh
Caron Butler- I wouldn't be upset, but he's a cancer that doesn't play defense anymore
Ben Gordon- obviously not
Chris Kaman- he would be a horrible fit..black hole that can't play in a team concept, weak on D
Jordan Hill- sure, I'd take him
Jimmer- pointless with Mills and Beli on the team
Earl Clark- absolutely
MWP- he has been terrible for a few years playing the 3, but I'd love to take him as the small-ball 4
Marvin Williams- #1 choice
Danny Granger- I wouldn't be upset, but he has looked horrific this season
Ideally IMO:
1. Williams
2. Clark
3. MWP
A 30 year old that missed basicailly all of last season and a chunk of this season, is their building block. Not a chance.
Of the four, the only sureshot buyout is Granger.
I don't think anyone has any idea what Philly is doing outside tanking tbh. I'm just giving my best guess. They have no legitimate bigmen on their roster anymore and if Granger can find his old form he'd be fine at SF. That means they can go after Randle or Embiid in the draft. If Granger continues to play like the rest of the season they cut their losses and grab Wiggins/Parker.
Not THE building block, but a player they'd like to keep. Their building blocks will be Noel and whoever they nab in the draft.
