Buyout candidates to sign for us??

[Smitty77]

Lance Stephenson is likely to get almost immediately bought out by the Magic after the pending trade with the Clippers.

Do we want him?

Joe Johnson is a buyout candidate as well.

Do we want him?

If so, we better clear a roster spot of two.

I guess buying out Lee will open one up.

Thoughts?

Saw that Andrea Bargnani was going to get bought out as well.

As horrible as Joe Johnson is playing 35 minutes a game, I think he could be a really decent player off the bench in 15 minutes a game that could provide a little offense. However, I think he is a lot more likely to sign somewhere like Cleveland. I dont know what the deal is with stephenson.

Apparently the Clips are trading Stephenson to Orlando for Frye.

Doc is adamant that he's not trading Griffin, but it's interesting that now he's trading one of his few wing players for a stretch 4...

Shaking my head at how badly Stephenson has become, to a point where he's being traded for Frye, who literally hasn't ever been the same in a long time.

No interest in any of the above.

I'd hand over my testicles to science for just one game of Lance in Green.

He is the perfect example of an individual just too far ahead of his time. I think he came to us about 3 generations too early. He has literally out-evolved "modern" society. In a fair game of 1 on 1, Lance beat the hell out of Life... and there's simply no one/nothing left for him to play.

Lance is shooting 49.4% from the field and 40.4% from three.  That is NOT bad!!!

Buyouts usually sign on for contenders. Not middle of the pack teams.

Ainge said it best. We are 3rd in the East now but we were 9th just a few weeks back and we can move anywhere between now and close of season. He wants to make a move that will keep us in 3rd. That is where Boston is. Still fighting in the pack of teams competing for 3rd-9th playoff spots and nowhere near title contention. Players around the league know that.

Whilst I see that argument I'm inclined to disagree slightly. There is more parity between 3-9 than  between us and Cleveland. However looking at our point differential we compare well with Toronto and the Clippers and much better than the other teams in the East playoff race. I expect that to show in the final third of the season.

If there is a move that makes us better danny will make it, I agree. But if there are buyout candidates and we have an open roster spot then I see teams considering us
