Why would you buy him out and not get assests, $$$$, players, or draft future picks? Pacers only sent a 1 sentence line to the STH. It was not informative at all! Thanks
Because that requires a team to be willing to take on his $9.1 million salary for this season. Few teams even have the cap space to do that. If the Clippers wanted, it would have required a third team.
Of course they wanted assets. But there hasn't been a trade market for him. Maybe a second-rounder at best last summer.
So this allows for them to save some money — how much? we'll soon find out — and open a roster spot.
No immediate plans that I'm aware of. Keep in mind, this was more so for Daniel — so he could move to a new situation where he could play. The best value for that spot could come in a few months, in the form of signing players to 10-day contracts and in making unequal trades before the deadline.

Any thoughts on what they're looking to do with the open roster spot?
