    Steve Kaufmann, the agent for Philadelphia 76ers swingman Greg Buckner, said it's possible Buckner could end up in a Nuggets uniform. Kaufmann said the 76ers are considering buying out of the final four years and $12.9 million left on Buckner's contract or trading him. The Nuggets likely would be more interested in signing Buckner as a free agent.</div>

    I dont think we should buy out Buckner's contractI think we could at least find some type of trade in which we can aquire a decent player in return. Though, if the only solution to get rid of him is waivers then so be it.

    I hope they buy out his contract,thats more cap space for us.Buckner never really did anything big for us,the only thing I remeber is he had a good game against somebody when AI was out.

    If Denver really wants him,we could get Skita for Buckner and a pick but I doubt it will happen as Denver would get a better player in return for Nikoloz than Buckner.
    I don't know about Sixers cap situation but could we sign a good player next year if we buy out Greg's contract (Denver signs him) and don't trade Glenn+MacCulloch's contract expires in february?

    I would do it for Skita w/o a doubt. Due to fact that we are in sorta a rebuilding period and he be a great player with the right development in about a year or 2.

    He is a player that needs to half substantial fllor time to get better, he shouldn't be a Darko and sit watch and practice. I would do it though.
