Every Nets fan knows the list of buyout candidates Sean Marks might want to sign following next Thursday’s trade deadline. There’s Andre Drummond and J.J. Redick and LaMarcus Aldridge and P.J. Tucker. All of them are more likely to be bought out than traded.
And the Nets have not been shy about saying the buy-out market is why they’ve remained flexible. As of Wednesday, they have two open roster spots. No team has more.
Now, Alex Schiffer and John Hollinger of The Athletic suggest another name, a big man, might be available: Gorgui Dieng, the Grizzlies’ little-used 6’11” stretch-4.
