Buyout clauses are basically liquidated damages clauses. They have to be a reasonable estimate of the value of the lost services of the player. If they are deemed to be so much that they are a "penalty" they are not enforceable.
I think that pretty much rules out exorbitant buyout clauses. And, as you state, the transfers will be negotiated out.
