Buy out Market - predict who your team will buyout 

Post#1 » by The Beam King » Fri Feb 7, 2025 2:55 am

With the trade deadline passed, let's all predict who are team might buy out. Create a list of all the possible buy out scenarios.


Kings need to add roster spots. Therefore no buy out imminent.

Give a list of likely guys so I don’t have to work at my leisure.

Lakers got an open roster spot as a result of the Mark Williams trade. Maybe a second or third depending if they see someone of need and they can probably waive Christian Wood (who knows what's happening with his rehab), or Markieff Morris.

Lakers, as a 1st apron team, can't sign anyone currently making over the MLE (12.8 mil). Probably looking at least a defensive guard on the buyout market. They could also convert one or both of their two-way contracts in Koloko/Jamison into a minimum if nothing else than to reward them to keeping the Lakers center position afloat.

They can use up to 3.8 mil (from their MLE).

If Ben Simmons gets bought out, what will his offer be from teams?

I was actually thinking Lakers lol, just wondering how much $$$ will be for Simmons?

Edit: If Lonzo and Simmons got bought out who would you rather?

Can't sign anyone currently making over the MLE as a 1st apron team

I know Clippers and Grizz both made moves to get under the 1st apron, so they get first dibs on any of the bigger free agents. Rockets, Spurs, Kings and Thunder are under as well if they spot a free agent they want.

Warriors currently need to add 3 players and don’t have any logical buyout candidates, so I expect us to try and add someone

Patty Mills is the only possible candidate, but even that, I doubt

I would rather Lonny walker over any of these buyout bums
Warspite:

Prince + filler for Kobe Bryant
To be honest the way Prince has played and with Kobes injury/age/mileage Im not sure I would do that deal either. Still Prince is more important and he wins the head to head battles with Kobe.

I think lakers will sign Josh Richardson. Lakers looking for a defensive guard and he's played with both JJ and Luka in the Mavs days
