Buyout Buzz: Miami now favorites for Bibby & Murphy
In a stunning move, Bibby, whom the Wizards acquired from Atlanta last week in a trade for Kirk Hinrich, gave up his entire salary for next season. The 32-year-old point guard had one year and $6.2 million left on his deal.Have to give Bibby credit. Pretty rare for a player to give up the guaranteed dough for a chance to win a ring. If these two do end up in Miami, I wonder who Danny will sign and how he'll spin it.
"He sacrificed some money in order to win a championship," said David Falk, Bibby's agent.
Bibby will clear waivers on Wednesday. While Falk said Bibby has not made a decision yet about which team he will join, one source close to the situation said he's headed to Miami.
The source also said Miami is the front-runner for Troy Murphy.
After the jump, Marc Stein reports that the Celtics are going to go after the soon to be bought out Corey Brewer.
