Buyout Options

Clips getting Reggie Jackson... very likely insignificant signing... this is what contenders do though... they add talent and contingency plans. Surprised he didn’t go to the Lakers.

LMFAO. WTF do they want him? He can’t possibly get off their bench, right. Even so, I’d rather see him play over the rest of their guards. Lol

This is also why the “we will be active in the buyout market” was hilarious. You think finding trades with limited assets is hard... go ahead and try to sign guys that can go to LA or Miami for the same money... hell even Texas is tax free. We are at a pretty heavy competitive disadvantage.

Good. Blessing in disguise IMO. I don’t think there is a center on the market I’d rather have over Bradley.

Unless Udoh was released outright from China he is unavailable as they resume their season on April 1 as it had been suspended because of the corona virus.

lmao. He’s not an upgrade over Bradley. I’m good

But he's absolutely right. The system is unfair. Reggie Jackson had an $18 million contract. Well, no team has $18 million of cap space so of course he was going to clear waivers. Now, he can sign for minimum for any team he wants. Contenders and/or teams from great markets get an unfair advantage. To me, that's garbage because the contenders have the ability to add a player that other team's don't have a chance to.

My proposal is that every team should be limited to one buyout player.
And maybe there should be some sort of compensation. Maybe a team loses their 2nd round pick or their 2nd round pick goes to the end of the 2nd round if they sign a guy who was bought out.
Lastly, I think teams should be able to use exception money or some other bigger amount of money to have a chance to pay more than a minimum contract. For example - maybe DeMarre Carroll goes to Utah if we could give him $3 million instead of minimum the rest of the season.

Currently, the system is unfair. In no other sport is a team adding a 7th, 8th, or 9th best player for nothing with less than half of the season left.

So I feel like an alcoholic in rehab and am reaching the point of drinking cough syrup, so how about Jeremy Evans? Could be switchy. Not a sieve.

I really hate how the NBA works sometimes. It's pretty much impossible for small market teams like the Jazz to compete with the big market teams.

Big wings are assets comes playoffs. You can find midget guards who can contribute from literally everywhere. Kendrick Nunn this year for example. Or VanVleet last year. Last thing you should do is overpay for a midget guard unless they are perennial allstars

Reggie Jackson hasn't misses a game since returning from injuries, including consecutive back to backs. Conley at his current physical condition is a solid candidate to bet your money on for missing an entire playoff series like the 2017 George Hill and 2018 Rubio, after everyone chanting “but we need him comes playoffs”

How about some mouth wash... I hear Brandon Bass is doing well in the Chinese league.
