NBA mailbag: Should the league prevent top buyout players from signing with the best teams?

Time for another edition of the NBA mailbag.

Throughout the NBA season, I will be answering your questions about the latest, most interesting topics in basketball. You can tweet me directly at @kpelton, tweet your questions using the hashtag #peltonmailbag or email them to peltonmailbag@gmail.com.

This week we take a look at:

  • Investigating whether the quality of players available via the buyout market is getting better over time

  • DeMarcus Cousins and Rajon Rondo, together again

  • A possible application of the Elam Ending

Should the league be more preventative in avoiding top talent becoming available in the buyout market?
