Here are the candidates pulled from https://247sports.com/nba/los-angeles-lakers/ContentGallery/NBA-buyout-best-candidates-128387449/#128387449_20

-Jeremy lin
-Vince carter
-casspi
-Channing frye
-alec burks
-shelvin mack
-Garrett temple
-Wayne ellington
-enes kanter
-Mario hezonja
-Noah Vonleh
-terrence Ross
-Jamal crawford
-troy Daniels
-zach Randolph
-kosta koufos
-trevor Ariza
-Jeff Green


Would be surprised if Enes Kanter gets bought out but he's been getting benched for almost no reason. They might as well if they will he so blatant with the tank. Kanter would be a pretty crazy addition.

Ellington would also be a little surprising to see bought out. Feel like Vonleh would be another greg Monroe but i guess it wouldn't hurt to have him.

I Always liked Jeremy lin so it would be cool to see him in green

Jeremy Lin would be awesome. Noah Vonleh would be too. He's very different to Monroe. Smaller and a bit weaker, but can shoot the 3 (37% this season on 2.2 tries a game) and is a more versatile defender. Similar passers.

I'd also like Burks. A bit injury prone, and his efficiency hasn't really come back since, but he can still score easily.

Most of the guys on your list would be great but Zack Randolph? He is still playing?

Zach Randolph isn't going anywhere, as a buyout anyways, unless Sacramento goes on a big losing streak or if the young bigs start taking time from him, like Giles. He'd definitely be a candidate if Labissiere and/or Koufos were producing.

He is also only 1 year older the Lebron so yeah, he's still around. He is still putting up points and grabbing boards. Not sure if he's playing any defense, he may have forgotten completely, as the whole team is just run and gun and no D.

He hasn't played a game this season, as he? Unless his basketball-reference.com page is completely wrong

There is word that DeAndre Jordan may get bought out by the Knicks. Celtics need to use waive Bird and create a spot for Jordan.

Jordan is the big man we need.

Have you watched him at all this year, or you just going by stats?

It will be interesting to see what Jordan is looking for if he gets bought out.  My gut tells me that he would prefer to go to a team like the Raptors.  They could probably sell him on a minimum of 20 MPG with a clearly defined role.  I don't think the Celtics would promise him anything other than an opportunity to earn minutes.

I'd love Dedmon. But rumors say he'll get traded.  :(

I don't think we need Wes Matthews. DeAndre Jordan is definitely interesting.

I've got a feeling the Bucks, Nuggets, and Lakers would try for Jordan too. They have starter minutes at center available and they are all playoff teams.

The Warriors, Rockets, Sixers, and Raptors already have their starters at center.

The Knicks are the team people need to be aware of. They could have cap for 2 max players and a top 3 pick.

KD/Kyrie and Zion would be crazy.
KD/Kemba and Barrett would be just as crazy.

The Knicks are the team that should scare Boston more than anything.

Jordan is getting bought out in NY. There is no doubt about that.
