Macijauskas is going to be bought out

[ducks]

BUYOUT IN THE WORKS: The Hornets are in buyout negotiations with shooting guard Arvydas Macijauskas' agent, which would allow him to play in Europe, a league source said.

The Hornets had been shopping Macijauskas in a potential trade deal but did not receive much interest around the league. Macijauskas, whom the Hornets signed as a free agent last summer, played in 19 games and averaged 2.3 points last season. Hornets coach Byron Scott said Macijauskas struggled to learn the playbook. http://www.nola.com/hornets/t-p/inde...960.xml&coll=1

Too bad for the guy but he'll play better in the European game.

My 18-35 rec team can use another shooter. He would have to pay $40 to join the team though.

I doubt he could get his shot off.

I read Barca is interested in him.

Macijauskas was considered a top player in Europe before he came over. It just goes to show you that you can't just throw money at a guy who puts up numbers in Europe. If the players are big enough or athletic enough, they'll get destroyed in the NBA.

you forgot not.

You mean just like Nocioni playing PF?
