Buyout Watch Thread

Definitely does. People complain about Ayres as a 4th big, but the 3rd and 4th bigs on the Clipps are Ryan Hollins and Hedo.

And Zeller.

So, Philly traded two ending contracts totaling $10M for Granger's ending contract at $13M...so they could pay him more on a buyout than their own players?

And Zeller.

When did the Clipps get a Zeller? And which one?

The Cleveland one. For Bullock.

The Cleveland one. For Bullock.

I don't think that went through tbh.

The Sixers are under the salary cap floor. The penalty for that is to pay the difference between the floor and their payroll to the other players on their roster. So getting 3M closer to the floor doesn't add a dime to total payroll.

I guess not. Damned people posting fake tweets.

I'd take RJ back. Now, we don't have to worry about him stunting Kawhi's growth. He knows he system and the players. He's reasonably well liked, I think. Not my first choice, but better than we should expect from Daye.

Even more reason they're not buying him out.

It doesn't save them money, but it doesn't cost them either. They could just waive him, or buy him out and give whatever they save to the other players.

Tbh maybe the Thunder will buy out KD once Lebron's done taking his purity...

[Mel_13]

Even more reason they're not buying him out.

I think it will really come down to what Granger wants. If he wants out, there's no benefit to the Sixers if they block his exit.

How long after players are bought out, that they can be signed?

[look_at_g_shred]

And when can they be bought out?

[ChumpDumper]

How long after players are bought out, that they can be signed?

48 hours.

Technically they can be bought out at any time. Glen Davis should be on waivers tomorrow, for example.

[Mel_13]

And when can they be bought out?

Anytime, but they must clear waivers by March 1st in order to be playoff eligible for another team.

[Russo21]

I've always liked Granger but no. Besides name recognition I've only seen him play once this season and it was like Indiana were going out of their way to try get a bucket for Granger in garbage time and he kept clanging it and turning it over. The lead was quickly dwindling. Unless he's improved since then, no, he's been shooting like 30% with little D

Thanks.

Big Baby would be a solid addition for the min. Too bad he is 100% going to the Clippers.

He still had 2 years left (counting this season). I was not expecting a buyout right now. I wonder how much money he left on the table.

[exstatic]

Waiting on the meltdown when Money Mase gets bought out and signed.

Along with the Clippers, sources tell Yahoo others expressing interest in free agent to be forward Glen Davis include Miami, SA, BKN & GS.

[Mugen]

Spurs have had interest in Big Baby before. I wouldn't be as opposed to it now as i was back then but I'd be very surprised if he went anywhere besides LA.

[timtonymanu]

Wouldn't mind Big Baby, but it seems like a long shot at this point.

[look_at_g_shred]

Miami wanting a piece of everyone lol
