I hope I am wrong, and Wideman does better than what he did this year. He does eat up a lot of minutes, and I still like that .5 PPG. Plus, his injury gave us a spot for rookies to show what they've got. Honestly, I am just in the middle with Wideman.

Just because you think he's wrong for the team doesn't make him not an asset. Right now, our 2014 first round pick isn't helping us win any games, but it's still an asset. It was value, just like Wideman has value. Sure, I would be all for retaining salary and trading him for picks or young players then signing a better UFA, assuming one is willing to sign. But buying him out would just be a waste of both the owners' money and a tradeable asset.
