As the dust settles after the NBA trade deadline, teams are now turning their attention to filling out their rosters with available buyout candidates. The deadline may have passed, but the league's roster-churning is far from over. With March 1st being a key date for waived players to remain eligible for the playoffs, teams have the next three weeks to make moves and bolster their lineups.

Several teams already have open roster spots, including the Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls, Cleveland Cavaliers, Dallas Mavericks, Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat, Milwaukee Bucks, Indiana Pacers, Sacramento Kings, Golden State Warriors, New Orleans Pelicans, Oklahoma City Thunder, Minnesota Timberwolves, New York Knicks, and Philadelphia 76ers. The number of available spots is 23, and more may open up in the coming weeks.

While most of the players potentially hitting the market may not be difference-makers or regular rotation players, teams are still sifting through the options to find suitable additions for their playoff push. However, there are certain restrictions in place this season, where players who were making more than the non-taxpayer midlevel exception ($12.4 million) before being waived cannot sign with teams that were above the first apron ($172.3 million cap number).

Some notable players on the market, or potentially on the market, include Spencer Dinwiddie, Delon Wright, Troy Brown Jr., Kyle Lowry, Marcus Morris Sr., Cedi Osman, Evan Fournier, Shake Milton, Danuel House, Otto Porter Jr., Thaddeus Young, Chimezie Metu, Mike Muscala, Bismack Biyombo, Danilo Gallinari, Taj Gibson, Furkan Korkmaz, Kevin Knox, Joe Harris, Lamar Stevens, Ish Smith, Patty Mills, Garrison Mathews, Wes Matthews, Jock Landale, Boban Marjanović, Ryan Arcidiacono, and more.

Each of these players brings their own skill set and potential contributions to the table. From offensive firepower to defensive versatility, teams will be carefully evaluating these options to determine who could be the right fit for their respective playoff aspirations.

With buyout negotiations underway, teams will look to strike deals that benefit both parties. Players may agree to take a reduced salary in exchange for the opportunity to sign with a new team. The negotiations often aim to align the player's salary with their veteran minimum contract for the remainder of the season.

As the market unfolds and players begin to clear waivers, the coming weeks will see teams make moves to solidify their rosters for the postseason push. The NBA's roster shuffle continues, and teams are eager to capitalize on the remaining talent available on the open market.
