So some of the trades below would have to include 2nd round picks to make up the difference on either side.

(We can cut Ezeli and he'd only cost 1m against cap next year)

(Not as likely but Splitter hasn't played and can't get healthy, could help for a playoff run having Howard and Bogut rotating)
http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=zgccsgy
(No idea how they value Smart but his numbers are not good on offense and they could use rim protection and wouldn't give up a 1st for Bogut I don't think)

(Least likely of all of them but have to think they'd be interested in rim protection. Val isn't a rim protector and Noguira is too young to help them vs Cavs right now which is their goal. I think Mavs wanted Wright in the Simba draft but he got taken just ahead)

(Grizz get vet's who can help in a playoff push Mavs get 2 former mavs, Vince could be a buyout candidate to join a contender and wright is short term low salary deal for future asset. Would depend on each teams interest in Harrison who I think can be a solid rotation pg)

(Diallo fits in with the Wright/Powell small 5 roll man type who could be a future asset on a value deal. We would need a future protected 1st in this deal though to take back Asik which is the primary motivator for Pelicans to move him. Can't be wasting salary cap space and time with a guy like Asik with AD being a top player now.) |
I kinda like the last one with the Pelicans if we can get back another pick. Diallo will take some time to develop which is something we will have and Asik won't exactly kill our salary situation because nobody decent is signing with us in the off season. We'd be giving up virtually nothing for our future and gaining Diallo and a pick in the process.
I can see that one happening because it would benefit both teams.
