Buy-out candidates: should Raptors be interested?

The often-visited Hoops Rumors site has a post up about (potential) buy-out candidates. You’re welcome to see the whole thing, but I’m going to concentrate on two players only, Arron Afflalo and Trevor Booker. [20-second timeout: the morning brings news of the Lakers’ pending buyout of Corey Brewer, who’s worth a few words.] The Toronto Raptors may be interested in these fellows should they reach agreement to leave their current squads.

Afflalo, a shooting guard and no more, currently warms the bench for the perpetually rebuilding Orlando Magic. He’s 32 years old, and will be out of the NBA before Orlando is on the plus side, if they ever are, so it’s easy to consider him being amendable to a buy-out.
