The buyout / 15th roster spot thread...

[Who]

I don’t think Brissett is returning, personally.  I think he’ll look for somewhere with more playing time.

I don't think anyone else will give him more playing time than he has gotten here. He isn't good enough for a bigger role.

If you sign Jrue for 25 mil next year and Luke for 3 mil and Tillman for 4 mil...

Trade away Peyton and Oshae for future draft picks, taking no $ back....

let Svi walk, sign Queta, 1st rd pick at 30th spot, and one second round pick.....

you can just get under the 2nd apron next year with 14 on the roster.


I would not be surprised if PP and OB were gone by this November.

On a very practical level, who are you replacing PP's minutes with?

[otherdave]

good question......

well either Jrue or Derick would have to be on the court at all times....

And with Kristaps, Big Al, Luke, Queta and X, I would play bigger with more 2 big lineups.

Would also try to develop Jaden and Jordan a bit.

Personally I like Prichard and don’t want to see him traded but I also understand the Celtics needing to lower payroll.
What about Davidson? Does anyone think he would be able to handle the backup position next year?

Speaking of buyout pickups, is Gordon Hayward cooked? He's done absolutely nothing since joining OKC. He's also turning 34 in a few weeks. With his age and injury history, he might be coming to the end of his NBA days.

Dinwiddie on the other hand is only 30 years old and doesn't have the injury history of Hayward but suddenly fell off a cliff this season. He's also been brutal for the Lakers.

He definitely might be. He is the kind of player that didn’t have a lot of athleticism to lose so his fall could be quicker than some other players .

All depends on what teams u play for

I guess I 'm just coming to the realization that Hayward would have likely gotten little or no playing time on this season's Celtics team. He's a shell of the Hayward from even two years ago.

Too many injuries

He’ll be a free agent after this season right? I’d be fine for Brad to work him out over the summer and see if he could be our 15th man. Not sure if he’d accept that role though. I mean he can be next year’s Svi?

Depends if he's going to be ok being next year's Svi. I have a feeling coming from getting paid $30m he won't want to go straight to vet min and playing 2 min every 10 games. He probably will feel he still has something to contribute. They're always raging against the dying of their light 

That's what made Blake so unusual - that he went from being a max player to that 15th man type benchwarmer so quickly without any complaint. He was even more cooked than Gordie though I think.

Hayward basically put up 15/5/5 on 50% shooting this year.  He hasn't adjusted to OKC yet, but he's also not a deep bench player.

Sure, but I think guys like Svi or Banton could put up those numbers or better on Charlotte.

Based upon what?
