Anyone getting bought out is a candidate to go to the Warriors for that ring. Except for members of Team Banana Boat of course.

when a player gets a buyout isnt it first dibs to trash teams or is a buyout different from being waived?

So a question. What does Milwaukee do going forward with Jabari? Would you see if he can give you a full season and then shop him for pieces like an extra shooter, playmaker off the bench or try and resign him on a short deal like Steph after all those ankle injuries?
I see Drose is taking a meeting with them but hopefully it's two years. I think Milwaukee has so much more chance to grow now after all these dudes are heading west and could land a FA ala Warriors with the drafted core and trades.

It's different, they turn into an unrestricted free agent free to sign with whoever after a buyout

Cavs still trying to stabalize the backup PG spot. Calderon isnt the answer.
What was the reason with Delly's deal last year (4yr/38m, looking like a bargain now)?
The Cavs couldnt match due to cap space?
The Cavs could match just didnt want to?
GM Bron said no?
After winning the chip they thought vets would take the minimum to play in Cleveland and front office hoping one would be a PG so they let Delly go???

Nah. They still have to go through the waiver wire.

My bad, I just looked it up, it was a meniscus tear in 2010, second knee injury that season and required surgery to repair.

No. Monta Ellis will get bought out from the Pacers which means they will be responsible for whatever money they agree to within the buyout. Once he's bought out then he will have no contract to get picked up off waivers with. They are unrestricted free agents free to sign with whoever they want after a buyout.

A player still has to clear waivers after a buy-out to become a free agent.

What contract exactly is a team picking a player up with after a buyout?

If a team has cap space to pick him up, the pacers would be off the hook for the buyout amount. The team that claims him is responsible for the remaining contract.

This is the buyout provision in the CBA. Buyouts work like this: (i) a team will request waivers as they would in the general waiver procedure, (ii) once the player clears waivers, all compensation protection on the contract will either be reduced or eliminated, and (iii) the team’s right to set-off is modified or eliminated.

Then I don't even understand what the hell is the difference between a buyout and being waived in that case Melo and Monta could be scooped up by the Nets

Money saved by the owners.
Last year a couple of teams claimed players off the waiver wire to get to the salary cap floor.
The nets could claim Melo but it would eat into their salary cap space the next 2 years.
