Yeah, yeah, I know...

Seldom-used Rockets forward Jared Jeffries(notes) and Timberwolves guard Sebastian Telfair(notes) are both hoping to get buyouts, sources said. Houston and Minnesota, however, would rather find a trade for the players before the deadline.

That would be a bummer if we went that direction. Hopefully we can trade him for something.

This partially supports the CBS story claiming that Telfair and Brewer want out.

Except, I highly doubt that Brewer would demand a buyout....hes still averaging 24 mins a game. Unlike Bassy, whos getting nothing now that Flynn is back

I hope the Wolves do the right thing by Bassy, he deserves minutes somewhere....the Raptors could use him right now

But this is a business, a trade should happen soon I guess.

If nothing happens by the deadline, sure, buy him out. But until then I wouldn't do it.

Cant say I find that surprising. He isnt getting any burn on this team, and could get playing time elsewhere.

I wonder what is more important to him, winning or minutes. My guess is that he would play for New York where he could have a shot at both. With that said, keep the puppy until the trade deadline.

No reason to buy him out before the trade deadline, unless we needed the roster spot to complete a trade.

Buy him out if he isn't moved before the trade deadline, yeah.
