Eddy's status-trading deadline


Eddy's reputation and his 11 M contract make him untradeable. No team will take him unless it can unload an equally useless player with a similar expiring contract or a decent player with a longer contract. The latter possibility looks like a real long shot. Eddy also makes a Melo trade virtually impossible.

What is the advantage- if any- of a buyout? How much of the 11 M counts against the cap immediately? If the entire amount still counts, a buy out is pointless except to the extent that it might save the organization some dollars.
Eddy remains an albatross literally.
