Now that the trade deadline has passed, fans are wondering about potential buyout candidates that could end up on their teams.
Three major candidates were involved in a trade on deadline day--one being Kendrick Perkins. The backup center has been linked to the Cavaliers, Clippers, and Bulls so far.
A host of other players could easily end up on the market very soon with buyout negotiations already starting for some.
Check out other candidates below.
Kevin Martin
The Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard is a proven scorer, and has bounced back since returning to injury on January 28.
Martin is a career 18 point-a-game scorer, and is averaging 20.2 this season on 15 shots a game (44 percent shooting). He’s also lethal from long range, shooting 41 percent this season.
Sources told USA Today that there is “no way” that Flip Saunders will approve of a buyout, but that was before the deadline passed and the Wolves were likely trying to get something back for the 32-year-old.
If Martin does hit the open market, look for a number of teams to jump at the opportunity to land him--including the Wizards, Heat, and Pelicans.
