Does anyone where to find the waiver wire order?  When buyouts come maybe we can grab them off the waiver wire.

That’s not how it works.  The Celtics can only put claims on waivers for players who’s full salary fits under their cap or a trade exception.  The Celtics have neither, so could only claim players who currently make the minimum.

But we can claim them once they clear waivers though right?  Pay them the minimum?

The problem is that many teams can also sign these guys after buyout and not all teams have to pay the minimum. I don't know what the actual salaries available are but I understand that Toronto can pay more than the minimum because of some exception they have. It would be great to see who has what money available for buyout candidates amongst any contending teams. I mean I also know that Detroit has a 5+ million DPE for Leuer. I think Salt said we have like 3.5 mill available that will keep us under the cap.

We can't claim anybody, but we can pay anybody who clears waivers the minimum. That player would have to choose us over the likes of GSW, Houston, Cleveland, etc. If Danny finds somebody he likes, I am sure he will do his best to sell him on a defined role in Boston.

You don't claim them if they clear waivers.  You have to negotiate a deal with them.  Teams that can pay more than the minimum have an advantage.
