Every year multiple players are traded to other teams for draft picks, young players, and to free up cap space, and then their contracts get bought out and they sign with a team likely to win a ring that year. ex. Juan Howard, Tyron Lue, Sam Cassell, Damon Stoudamire, etc. What key players are going to end up paid off and picking up a green jersey for the vet min?
Stephon "Starbury" Marbury is sure to be bought out or traded for draft picks or expiring contracts.
Antoine "Chunky" Walker will be bought out if he doesn't agree to be backup to Warrick & Millic.
Eric Snow still has a contract left. He's at a log jam position along with Damon Jones.
Darius Miles hasn't played in awhile, and tested positive for some drug...I'm not sure on that one.
Keith Van Horn...I think his contract only has Player Options left for these last 2 years.
