Omri Casspi wants to have a buyout within 2-3 days and join either Memphis or Houston.

According to Jason Lloyd: "Omri Casspi is out tonight. Was taken to an Orlando hospital with acute abdominal pain and remains there."

Any talk of a buyout will surely be put on hold until that's resolved.

Funny, Gibson was excused from the team for personal reasons tonight as well. Buyouts for both?

Omri Casspi No Longer In Cavs' Plans

February 24 at 10:34am CST By Chuck Myron

The Israeli website Walla Sport published a report indicating that Omri Casspi would like a buyout from the Cavs within the next few days (translation via HoopsHype), and Bob Finnan of The News-Herald wouldn't be surprised if that takes place. The 6'9" forward is no longer in the team's plans, Finnan writes. Casspi's rookie-scale contract expires at the end of the season, and, as Finnan already reported, he's not expected to re-sign with Cleveland this summer.

There were conflicting reports last month about whether Casspi asked for a trade, though at the time the 24-year-old professed happiness about being in Cleveland. Casspi appeared a likely trade candidate before the deadline, and drew interest from the Spurs this week. The Walla Sport report said Casspi is waiting to have a deal in place, ideally with the Grizzlies or Rockets, before accepting any buyout offer from the Cavs.

Casspi had his appendix removed this weekend, according to the Plain Dealer (Twitter link), a painful sidenote to a season of minimal impact in Cleveland. His points, rebounds, assists and minutes per game, as well as his field goal percentage, have declined each year from his rookie season, when he was a double-figure scorer and started 31 games for the Kings. Sacramento traded the 24th overall pick in the 2009 draft to the Cavs two years ago, and this season Casspi is putting up just 4.0 PPG in 11.4 MPG.

The Cavs can tender a $3,313,480 qualifying offer this summer to retain their right to match offers for Casspi, but it doesn't appear likely they'll do so. Casspi may return to his native Israel play, as Finnan reported a few weeks ago.

That appendectomy puts a damper on the buyout for Caspi. Probably has a 4-6 week recovery time. It's going to be tough to find a team that wan't to sign him if he can't play until mid April and he has to get a buyout completed by next Friday be allowed in the playoffs.

Casspi only.
