The rumor is it could cost a 1st, so no thanks on that front. I doubt 49 and 58 get it done.
To the people saying buy a 2nd, well, that is still a trade, so gonna have to dump another asset.
When we bought the Brobley pick, we had to include the drafts rights to a 26 year old overseas player... Who ended up coming over.
... played for a year, was barely a rotation player on a mid team, didn't like the NBA, took a buyout, and went back to the EuroLeague. (Note that this was the reigning EuroLeague MVP at the time-- hard to imagine a more-ready player for the NBA.)
We can absolutely send the rights to Diop anywhere with no value lost.
And at least Sasha Vezenkov made a 15 man roster lol something Brobley probably never accomplishes.
I assume he asked for the buyout because he was traded.
He asked for the buyout because he’d rather be a EuroLeague MVP than an anonymous bench piece in the NBA.
