Buy-Outs: Quite a few players are rumored to be seeking buy-outs – or their team is seeking to give them one – following the deadline.
In Indiana point guard T.J. Ford is expected to begin serious talks with the team. He is open to a buy-out as long he can make up the difference with a deal with a new team. If he has no guarantee such an agreement exists, he won't agree to one. Portland and Miami reportedly are the top teams interested.
In Houston, forward Jared Jeffries will have the same discussion. If he does become a free agent, the New York Knicks might be interested in bringing him back to strengthen their frontcourt depth.
In Golden State forward Troy Murphy is expected to get a buy-out and will be in high demand. Orlando and Boston are at the top of the list, but there could be others as well.
In New Jersey there has been talk of them buying out the newly acquired Dan Gadzuric. It's not clear at this time if there is a market for him in free agency.
In Minnesota center Eddy Curry will be waived, buy-out agreement or not. Miami has reportedly shown some interest, but perhaps he's not at the top of the list.
In Charlotte center Joel Przybilla, acquired today in the Gerald Wallace deal, may seek a buy-out and could be thinking about retirement.
