    No need for a buyout this summer. LA is a free agent.

    Thanks for the correction. I thought he had a year left.

    Still your idea is sound. Doesn't really make sense to buy him out and watch him go to a team in the same conference.

    depends on what kind of an agreement was reached between Aldridge and the Spurs. It seems to have been pretty amicable. My guess is that the Spurs agreed to try and find a trade for Aldridge and if none materialized, they'd buy him out after the deadline. And Aldridge could have agreed to cut a million or two off his salary in the buyout

    I'm guessing this is more of a result of him being a net-negative.

    Does any contender have room to pay him more than the minimum?

    The price he's paying to go to South Beach! Otherwise he's at SA's mercy. Its only money and there are more important things than money....

    And I agree no role except limited minutes off bench. If he accepted that role would be great but he won’t so see ya

    and that 5 points per game he's averaging in the 2 games he's played for the Nets has changed that....how?

    I don't think the Nets were hurting for scoring. It's more the +21 in 34 minutes.
