I like the move and credit to Masai for getting it done. He was able to upgrade Gasol for JV Wright and a second while also shedding Miles. I liked Wright at times but he’s 26 and can’t shoot. It also should give Powell more playing time which he deserves imo.
Masai has definitely made moves with the thinking that he will be able to land several buyout options. Raptors have never been able to attract the higher profile guys but this year could be different with Kawhi. Wayne Ellington would be my primary target if I was Masai

What is the buyout period? How does it work and when does it start?
