NBA 2019 Buy Out Market Rumors/Speculation/Signings

Pure speculation, but we might have made a move with Atlanta that will come in the next while, he's either included or some space has been moved for him in the frontcourt.
Either that or yeah, he rots lol. He's better than Myers Leonard but not Zach Collins fwiw.

 

McLemore is another guy who absolutely flamed out. Though to be fair, he was overhyped in college and came out early for financial reasons.

Kanter should be snapped up rather quickly. He might be a worse defender than Steve Nash but he can score. A team like Philadelphia, who currently has little to no depth, should try to fit him in.

 

Kings really suck at this draft/scouting thing.

 

Used to. Vlade has hit on his last 2.

 

He may need to go overseas and work on his game. Isn't getting the chance on this platform yet.

 

So from the sounds of it Clippers are waiving Gortat, Teodosic, and Beasley.

 

Kings are signing Corey Brewer to a 10 day contract. Also Ellington to DET.

 

He could be a good pick up. He's the type of player they needed off the bench after trading Wright. He's not shooting that well from three this season but he should get better looks on the Raptors and he can still get to the rim.

 

Still holding out hope that the Raps bring VC back to the fold for one final run.

 

VC seems to be set on playing for lousy teams

 

Lin is a good upgrade over Miles/Wright

 

Yeah, he said he wants to play for a team where he actually gets to play rather than ride the bench on a good team trying to get an easy ride to a ring, and wanted to be somewhere he can mentor younger guys.

 

I like it in the sense that he adds a serious scoring punch off the bench. But I hope it's not much more than that, ideally Nurkic should be getting about 32 mins a night. He is extremely under rated and a top 5 defensive center in the league. He gets in foul trouble all the time though, and Kanter is a huge upgrade over Leonard.
Plus the whole Turkish president wanting to kill him and all that is quite the story to follow....he is a pretty cool dude.

 

kanter sucks on D but aside from that is a pretty decent option at C for the 2nd unit
