Torrey Craig joins Boston Celtics as NBA buyout market heats up

Torrey Craig has signed with the Boston Celtics after being waived by the Chicago Bulls. With the NBA trade deadline passed, teams are now focusing on the buyout market, which is less appealing this year due to new salary cap rules. Key players like Ben Simmons and Marvin Bagley III are potential buyout candidates. Simmons, if waived by the Brooklyn Nets, could attract interest from the Cavaliers and Clippers. Bagley, on an expiring deal with the Memphis Grizzlies, may be sought after by teams needing frontcourt depth. Several teams, including the Knicks, Suns, and Kings, are looking to strengthen their rosters through buyouts. However, many contenders face restrictions that limit their options for high-salary players.
