With the 2022 NBA trade deadline now behind us, everyone’s attention will turn to the fast-paced action of the buyout market. Any teams that missed out on acquiring talent at the deadline can now look forward to trying to sign players who hit the buyout market in the coming weeks.
This has been a part of the season in which contending teams clean up. A lot of the veterans who are hitting free agency via buyout are veterans looking to latch on with a contending team and chase a ring.
While there has been a lot of focus on the guards that will be available, there are also some potential game-changing wings that could be on the move in the coming weeks as well. One of them is Orlando Magic shooting guard, Gary Harris.
Harris has gotten things back on track this season after his shooting stroke disappeared. He is a prime candidate after not being traded ahead of the deadline and playing on an expiring deal.

The same can be said about Kent Bazemore of the Los Angeles Lakers. Bazemore has been mentioned as a possible trade candidate for weeks, but no deal was found. He will be one of the first players considered for a buyout by Los Angeles, along with DeAndre Jordan.
Last but not least is Jeremy Lamb. Lamb was traded by the Indiana Pacers to the Sacramento Kings, but he could lose out on the number game in Sac-Town. If that occurs, he will hit the buyout market as well.
Where could these three veterans land? Let’s take a look at some possibilities and the top landing spot for each player.
