The NBA trade deadline has officially passed, but teams still have one last opportunity to improve their rosters in the post-trade deadline buyout market.
More often than not, the buyout market is a result of one of two things: teams not being able to find new homes for their disgruntled veterans before the trade deadline, or teams having to waive players to make room for a multiplayer trade.
Stay up to date with all the latest moves on the buyout market below:
Found next destination
Reggie Jackson (signed with the Nuggets)
Reggie Jackson completed a buyout agreement with the Hornets on Saturday and signed with the Nuggets on Tuesday, the team announced. The point guard was traded from the Clippers to the Hornets at the trade deadline. He scored 10.9 points per game in 52 games this season with Los Angeles.
Dewayne Dedmon (signed with the 76ers)
Philadelphia signed Dedmon on Tuesday after he was bought out by San Antonio, the team announced. The 76ers add the center as they’ve struggled to find much consistency with Joel Embiid‘s backup in recent seasons. Dedmon averaged 11.7 minutes per game in 30 games for the Heat.
Terrence Ross (will sign with the Phoenix Suns)
Terrence Ross will sign with the Suns after he finalized a buyout with the Magic on Sunday, ESPN reported. Ross played for Orlando since he was traded there at the 2017 NBA trade deadline, scoring 12.7 points per game and making 35.1% of his 3-pointers over seven seasons with the Magic.
Danny Green (will sign with the Cleveland Cavaliers)
Danny Green is signing a one-year, $2 million deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers, per The Athletic. Green has only played in three games this season, and averaged three points in those affairs.
Justin Holiday (will sign with the Mavericks)
The veteran forward — and older brother of Jrue and Aaron Holiday — has agreed to a buyout in Houston, and will reportedly sign with the Dallas Mavericks, according to ESPN. Holiday was traded from the Hawks to the Rockets ahead of the Feb. 9 trade deadline.
