We've had a lot of chatter about e.g. Kelly Olynyk and other possible buyout candidates or free agents in various other threads. Let's gather them together. After all, we do have an open roster slot.
One I've seen discussed before is Will Barton, a 6'6" ball handling wing. I don't think he'd necessarily top Hauser for rotation wing (though he might), but I think he'd probably be good depth / floor / injury insurance. He's 32, and was bought out by the Wizards last season after the deadline and brought into Toronto at the pro-rated minimum. He doesn't appear to be up to much right now, but was still rated an average NBA player last year by normal metrics, though DARKO saw a nosedive down from ~0 to -2 albeit with a more stable D-DPM defensive rating.
Who else should we be keeping an eye on?
