Seven players to watch on NBA buyout market - NBC Sports

The NBA buyout season is heating up with notable moves, including Ben Simmons finalizing a buyout with the Brooklyn Nets to join the Los Angeles Clippers. Veteran players will be on the move, but it's essential not to overestimate the impact of buyout players as they are often let go for specific reasons.

Malcolm Brogdon's health issues and the Wizards' potential refusal to buy him out pose challenges, but if he becomes available, teams will certainly show interest. Bruce Brown, currently with the Pelicans, may also stay put despite his expiring contract. Larry Nance Jr. and Daniel Theis stand out as solid options on the market, offering experience and skill.

Bones Hyland and Jaden Springer are younger talents that can provide depth, while Lonnie Walker IV, though abroad, could also make waves if his NBA escape clause is activated. Keep an eye on Mo Bamba and Josh Richardson among others who might also hit the market.

Who are the top buyout candidates to watch this season?What should teams consider when pursuing buyout players?How do buyout players affect fantasy leagues?How can fans stay updated on buyout news?
