Could Washington Wizards veteran Will Barton be a potential buyout candidate for the Boston Celtics? According to Keith Smith of CelticsBlog (via Heavy’s Adam Taylor), there is mutual interest in such an outcome. With Barton earning $14.3 million this season as an expiring deal, it is not out of the question that the veteran wing could be bought out by the Wiz.
Barton is having a down season in a reduced role, hitting just barely above his solid 37.4% rate from 3 from 2-point range as well. Still, a clearer if not larger role on a contending team might be a solid fit for a player who was putting up 14.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, and .9 assists per game.
