…If Heat opts to use one roster spot on a PG, then decision on what to do with 15th spot becomes complicated: Orlando Robinson, a veteran big (Ibaka?), a SG (T. Ross). Third seems least likely in a scenario where Miami adds PG. – 8:04 PM

James Johnson is at the game, sitting in Haliburton’s family seats.
He was waived yesterday, but there’s a very good chance he is brought back once they waive Ibaka. pic.twitter.com/b5pkN6zben – 7:16 PM

From earlier — Up next for Heat is NBA bargain bin in buyout market: Westbrook? Ibaka? Saric? Barton? Ross? sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-h… – 5:47 PM

Up next for Heat is NBA bargain bin in buyout market: Westbrook? Ibaka? Saric? Barton? Ross?sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-h… An argument could be made that Heat still can come out ahead of the game if buyout pieces fall into place (such as Barton and Saric). – 9:00 AM

Dario Saric will wear No. 9 for the Thunder. Last worn by Zavier Simpson, he of the glorious hook. Most famously worn by Serge Ibaka, followed by Jerami Grant. Malik Rose, Nerlens Noel and Moses Brown were the other No. 9s in OKC. – 1:47 AM

Just sitting here thinking, if the Warriors get active in the buyout market & the right pieces fall in place we could be looking at quite the playoff rotation:
Starters:
Curry
Thompson
Wiggins
D. Green
Looney
Bench:
Poole
GPII
Kuminga
DiVincenzo
Ibaka/Love

Okay so the Warriors bring home Gary Payton II in a trade, and still could add another piece in the buyout market. Serge Ibaka perhaps?? This could get very interesting….. #dubnation – 6:31 PM

Serge Ibaka, Terrence Ross and Reggie Jackson among other buyout candidates who could become available. Heat has remaining $4 million of its midlevel exception to possibly sign players in the coming weeks. – 4:37 PM

Serge Ibaka among expected bigs to be bought out, per Shams. Heat didn’t pursue last time he was available, when he was younger. But an option. Alternative is converting Orlando to 2-way and using other spot on someone who could play a lot with Bam or a skilled shooting G/SF – 4:33 PM

Clippers do not need to send back salary for Bones Hyland because they still have their $9.7 million Serge Ibaka trade exception from last year’s deadline. – 1:55 PM

On a particularly pedantic bookkeeping note – Kessler Edwards, Ryan Arcidiacono, Serge Ibaka and Mike Muscala all had/have the right to veto their trades. Presumably, they all will.

It is 2012. I am watching teammates Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, and Serge Ibaka play in the NBA Finals.

What we know about the Nets-Bucks-Pacers trade:
BKN: 3 second-round picks (via MIL)
MIL: Jae Crowder
IND: Jordan Nwora, George Hill, Serge Ibaka, 2 second-round picks
Nets effectively send 2 seconds to Indiana in order to not take on salary in the deal. – 1:06 PM
