I don't love him as a rotation player, but if he was essentially the Giddens/Walker replacement and was really only called upon to play if TA or Quis went down, it'd work out pretty nicely. Bowen was looking rather "thick" on NBATV last time I saw him. I think he's done.They'll look for a wing, but most likely won't sign one unless he could either 1) beat out TA straight up, or 2) is as good as TA but offers 3pt shooting (nobody behind Ray/PP shoots at the 2/3, unless you count Scal at the 3).I think Wyc is closing the checkbook unless there's real value out there.

Here are my top targets as far as possible buyouts right now:1. Bobby Simmons2. Raja Bell (if he is healthy)3. Larry Hughes
I don't see anyone potentially being bought out who's better then our top 10 players. The only buyout candidate who might have been an impact player was McGrady, but he isn't getting bought out now.
Any chance Mike Miller gets bought out by Washington? They've obviously blown it up and could save a few bucks by buying him out and letting him sign with a playoff team. He'd probably top my list for buyout guys if that happens. Miller could fill House's shooting void, he could handle the ball well for the 2nd unit (allowing Robinson to play off the ball sometimes) and he's a Rivers' favorite from his Orlando days. Plus he's a very efficient, smart player. This 10-man rotation would be pretty solid:Rondo/RobinsonR.Allen/T.AllenPierce/MillerGarnett/WallacePerkins/Davis
