The Buyout / Free Agency Thread

[Phantom255x]

Is there a PF/C that can shake loose? Because this team might need that too.

Or maybe sign Theis

Based on Brad's comments about waiting to fill the 15th spit, I wonder if it foreshadows another last week of the season conversion of a two-way contract.

Based on Brad's comments about waiting to fill the 15th spit, I wonder if it foreshadows another last week of the season conversion of a two-way contract.

I absolutely think this is the plan barring a long-term injury in the next week that would create an opening in the rotation, or someone unexpected being bought out (and that player making less than the MLE this year so we would be allowed to sign him).

Peterson has been giving us decent minutes when called upon, so I do expect him added to the 15-man in April, on a minimum with a non-guaranteed second year that we decline and then re-sign him to a 3-year deal, as we did with Hauser and Queta.

[Who]

Michael Scotto @MikeAScotto

The Atlanta Hawks are waiving David Roddy, league sources told @hoopshype.

Bobby Marks @BobbyMarks42

Toronto announced that they have waived James Wiseman. Wiseman had a team option for next season. He is currently out for the year. The Raptors have 2 open spots.

[Birdman]

Free agent forward Torrey Craig has agreed to a deal with the Boston Celtics, Mark Bartelstein of @PrioritySports told ESPN. Craig averaged 6.9 points and 2.8 rebounds in nine games for the Bulls this season.

Like it, need another guy off the bench like Walker or Richardson?

I can't wait to see the "free agent" workout video.

Genuinely confused how he's still coveted by teams. Guy is a soft loser

If the Cavs get him good for us, we'd pummel him

The third team that is looking at him is the Rockets. I literally cannot think of a worse fit for him.   Ime demands maximum effort and intelligent play. That seems to be the opposite of Simmons these last several years.  He would never sign there, but if he did, he would quit after the first practice..

He'll sign with a team and then probably jam his finger on a table and be out the season

Will there be a spot for Ben Simmons?

[liam]

Should we be looking at Jalen Hood-Schifino? I've only seen him play a couple of times. He looks like he'd be a play worth picking up...

[slightly biased bias fan]

I know the Celtics cannot sign Ben Simmons, but if there was a team that could get the best out of him as a role player it is the Celtics.

Horford
Simmons
Hauser
Craig
Prichard

Or

Porzingis
Simmons
Tatum
White

Bones Hyland waived.  Minorly surprised.
