Griffin, Drummond, Aldridge, in the past few seasons, many good players have entered the buyout market, which has attracted the competition of many big teams in the league. But this year, there may not be so many players with particularly famous names, and finally reached a buyout agreement with the team. Recently, CBS Sports analyzed the list of players who may be bought out this season.
Players who may be bought out by rebuilding teams:
Gary Harris, shooting guard, Magic
Averaging 29.6 minutes per game, he has 11.8 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.9 assists and shoots 44.5 percent from the field.
Thaddeus Young, big forward, Spurs
Averaging 13.9 minutes per game, he had 6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists and shot 57.3 percent from the field.
Derek Favors, center, Thunder
Averaging 16.2 minutes per game, he has 5.1 points and 4.8 rebounds and shoots 49 percent from the field.
Robin López, center, Magic
Averaging 18 minutes per game, he averaged 8.4 points and 3.8 rebounds and shot 58.8 percent from the field.
Muscala, big forward, Thunder
Averaging 13.8 minutes per game, he had 7.9 points and three rebounds and shot 45.8 percent from the field.

Players who may be bought out after trading:
Ibaka, center, Clippers
Averaging 14.7 minutes per game, he had 6.2 points and 4.1 rebounds and shot 47.7 percent from the field.
Ibaka will most likely end up being sent to the Thunder by the Clippers, which will help them save a lot of luxury taxes. After the deal is completed, Ibaka may be bought out and then join a Finals-level team. It is worth mentioning that in the 2020 free market, the Nets have recruited Ibaka, and if they join the Lakers, Ibaka can continue to stay in Los Angeles, and the Bucks also want a space-type interior line, after all, Lopez has not returned.
Bazemore, small forward, Lakers

Jordan Jr., center, Lakers
Averaging 13.2 minutes per game this season, he can get 4.3 points, 5.6 rebounds, and shoots 67% from the field.
The Lakers need to make one or two lists before the trade deadline, the simplest way is to trade Bazemore or Jordan Jr., if the deal can be reached, after Jordan Jr. is bought out, it is difficult to find the next home, Bazemore Although the shooting and defense have declined, he can still bring some help to the team.
Lamb, shooting guard, Pacers
Averaging 16 minutes this season, he can have 7.3 points and 2.5 rebounds and shoots 37.8 percent from the field.
Dragic, point guard, Raptors

Paul Millsap, big forward, Nets

Players whose multi-year contracts may be bought out:
John Wall, point guard, Rockets

For now, it seems unlikely that Wall will be bought out, but after the deal deadline, his situation could change if Wall hasn't been sent away.
Westbrook, point guard, Lakers
The Lakers will not reach a buyout agreement with Wei Shao, but if Wei Shao is eventually traded, such as the Rockets, Wei Shao may be bought out. Although Wei Shao is no longer a top player, if he plays on the bench for 20 to 25 minutes every night, Wei Shao can still show his value very well.
