Buyout Options

I can imagine a scenario where the Jazz were interested in DC and he wanted Houston. Takes two to make it happen. The Jazz may not make a move but I doubt they are sitting on their hands.

This is likely true... problem with the buyout market is guys just have to pick you... no money advantages and many other markets are more desirable. Outside of saying "we have 15 minutes a night for you guaranteed" we don't really have a super compelling argument. If Harkless is bought out this takes Houston out of the running. Not sure what kind of role Lakers could offer him... that's the last meaningful guy I expect to hit the market... I don't think Thompson gets bought out.

They’re being aggressive.
 
I'm not scurred of Jeff.

For real though I still wish we would have kept him. I was one of the few here who did not like the idea of releasing him. Like I said at the time, he was good veteran depth. He was decent on ball defender and could play small ball 5. We still haven't found a replacement for him. It was a mistake. We could have cut NWG to sign Tucker.

I think they are sitting on their hands so hard that they are elbows deep up their ***. Imo
 
I'm kind of disappointed about Demarre. I think he could've been useful for us, especially on the defensive end. Come playoff time it's going to be nearly impossible to keep both Niang and Bradley in the rotation.

Eh, I still think it was the right move. Addition by subtraction. Niang has his faults but there's no question we've been better with him as the backup 4 than we were with Green. If he actually played hard and gave a consistent effort he could've been a useful player but he just didn't seem to give a damn most of the time.

Not sure how big a paycut he took int he buyout... but if we really wanted him we could have traded Davis for him and it saves them a couple million and a little space... they could have given Ed a buyout and saved even more.

I’m not too bummed because I think he might be washed. Sucks he picked Houston...

I actually thought there was a good chance we would make that very move at the deadline. I'm still surprised Ed wasn't traded.

“San Antonio didn’t want Davis.”
