Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 3205289, member: 833"] Why would Memphis do that when they could trade him later in the year and get something back? You used to see the big buyouts like Carmelo's when tanking was a thing. But it isn't anymore. Why would Memphis spend $17 million to buy out Iguodola's contract? Why would Iguodala give up $17 million to make the NBA minimum somewhere else? Either Memphis pays a boatload for someone that never plays a minute for them, or Iguodala gives up millions for an NBA minimum contract when he is 35 years old. Meeting in the middle is a useless compromise for both sides. I guess a buyout is possible, but I don't know why either side would do it. [/QUOTE]
