Ideally I'd like someone who could fill a role like Peja in 2011. The buyout person doesn't need to be someone expecting regular minutes or being good at many things. I want the MBT to determine who, of the buyout guys, has a singular skill that, can win a series. They can otherwise be unplayable. Remember, in the Championship run, Peja only played against the Lakers. But he destroyed them.
Perhaps the Mavs need a certain type of defender who is particularly good against Jokic or a certain top wing (like they are uncanny at stopping the unstoppable, but are worthless against regular people).
Maybe there's a Josh Richardson-type who only comes off the bench because he's a deadeye FT shooter.
Maybe there's someone who you sign because they are great at being a goon (remember DeShawn against LeBron?).
Basically, I just want the 15th guy to have a 10/10 skill rather than 5s across the board. Because, in the playoffs, benches and bootyholes tighten. It will take something specific to get that deep bench guy in the game.
