Buyouts for the NBA is a natural thing. Some will overreact to the buyouts such as Blake Griffin, but these types of players won't swing the pendulum to winning the title. Remember the Celtics felt like getting Stephon Marbury was huge, but look what happened. A lot of these players are at the end of their careers. A very small percentage truly impacts an NBA title.
