2023 Official NBA Trade Deadline/Buyout Thread

[Roy H.]

I’m wondering if guys are signing elsewhere in part because the Celts aren’t offering the DPE.

[Goldstar88]

I'd be pretty happy with Stanley Johnson...

Thinking Will Barton will end up here

Wasn’t interested in Ross or Green, so I’d be pretty happy with either Barton or Johnson.

Also, didn’t realize that Johnson was the 8th overall pick in his draft. Another example of how difficult it is to predict how a players game will translate from college to the Pros.

I'd be pretty happy with Stanley Johnson...

Me too.

I'd be pretty happy with Stanley Johnson...

Me too.

He can play both forward spots and even some small ball center. He's also shooting 45% from 3 this year.

Me three

He's the homeless man's OG Anunoby. I still wonder if he has upside and could blossom later in his career, but it's weird he hasn't figured it out yet.

have we not used the DPE because we are still waiting for more buyouts, or a magical unicorn to appear?
maybe there are still some buyouts that are coming that non-NBA insiders don't know about?

He can defend and he's shooting a blistering 45% from 3 this year.

Yeah, you’re not kidding. Really good athlete.

Good highlights. He's a big strong kid who really gets after it on D.

Marc Stein: Dallas will pursue the addition of Justin Holiday should Holiday secure a contract buyout from Houston, league sources say. The Rockets have already sent Danny Green (Cleveland-bound) and John Wall (available) to the NBA buyout market. More NBA from me: marcstein.substack.com

Justin Holiday almost 34 and, if you count Houston, I think Mavs will be his 10th team.  Wow. I think this is his 11th season.

Or maybe Kyrie’s bad-mouthing is making it hard for us to attract a good buyout guy?

[goCeltics]

I'll go with whoever brad picks, however I would not mind
Marial Shayok, he is shooting the ball really well in Maine however he was not shooting the ball as well in his stint in Europe. I would not mind Stanley Johnson, gives them an extra body to put on a giannis however I would be skeptical of his 3pt % judging by his ft %.

Or maybe:

(1) The Cs front office isn’t wild about any of the guys available. They’ve largely moved on from the weakest players on the roster, and each of the “best” buyout players comes with a big ?, at least.

or

(2) Buyout guys who look at the Boston depth chart think: I’m going to sit the bench if I go there. If they go to Phoenix, the Suns just traded away three rotation players to get Durant - there is opportunity. The Clippers PG situation is a mess. Cs are the deepest team in the league.

I still think we may pick somebody up - I can’t say what Brad and co think if Barton and Green - but I don’t think the issue is popularity or that the FO is stingy. There has to be an opportunity that makes sense to both sides.
