Every year, NBA teams rush to build their team in July. Every spot in the rotation and all 15 roster spots are locked and loaded, ready for the season. Yet, every season we see teams add major pieces through March.
Whether it is addition by trade or through the buyout market, many playoff teams will rely on players who were not on their roster to start the season.
Perhaps the best example of a team which used the buyout market to their advantage last season was the Philadelphia 76ers.
Philadelphia added two major playoff pieces in Marco Belinelli and Ersan Ilysova.
