The New Jersey Nets granted center Elden Campbell's wish Tuesday, buying out the contract of the 15-year veteran and placing him on waivers.

If he clears, he is free to sign with any team of his choosing. Because he was released before midnight EST tonight, Campbell would be eligible for the playoff roster of whichever team he signs with.

Campbell, who spent last season and the first 21 games of 2004-05 with the Detroit Pistons, is expected to return to the defending champions after being traded to the Utah Jazz last month in the deal that brought Carlos Arroyo to the Pistons.
