Orlando is currently working on buying out Glen Davis. The Clippers are expected to go after Davis considering they have like three bigs on the team currently and two of them are Blake and Deandre.
The new CBA ensures there are going to be more of these: guys on their last season or second-last season who are willing to give up some guaranteed money to play elsewhere and who are willing to work with their current teams to make it happen. Kris Humphries might be one if only because Boston saves money by doing so rather than paying him through the end of the season, and he's good enough to make up some of the money on a short contract somewhere else where they're contending. Chicago might work something out with Mike Dunleavy in the event that Taj Gibson looks to be a threat to collect bonus payments which would send the Bulls into the tax. Sacramento might look to ditch Jason Thompson. The Lakers are probably discussing buyouts with half the team because with Steve Blake gone they only need to get rid of an extra $6m in salary and they'll be below the tax, and you know Jordan Hill and Chris Kaman, at least, will find a spot somewhere soon enough.
So: should we consider buying out Landry? Is there anybody likely to be bought out that we should be keeping an eye on?
