This is usually where the contending teams will put the finishing touches on their rosters for the stretch run of the season. Sometimes, some veteran players make it to free agency via buyout that has a big impact down the stretch run of the season.
Buyouts are something that has become more prevalent in recent seasons. Sometimes veterans with bloated contracts get bought out so that teams can open roster spots. Or, if a player gets traded at the deadline to a rebuilding team that has no real interest in them, they will get bought out.
There were four instances of a veteran landing with a team that won’t need for them. Goran Dragic and Tomas Satoransky both landed with the San Antonio Spurs, while Eric Bledsoe was traded to the Portland Trail Blazers. Dennis Schroder went from the Boston Celtics to the Houston Rockets and will assuredly be bought out at some point.
