Certainly a lot of possibilities here, depending what Atlanta wants to do (assuming there's ANY truth to this).
DUST works straight-up. Could also take Pachulia off their hands, given they owe him another $14.5 million over the next three years, are notoriously cheap, and didn't play him that much last season (and he'd be a nice backup C for us), by adding Stevenson's expiring on our side.
Depending on how the cheapskates in Atlanta feel about Marvin Williams, we could take him off their hands, too--Damp + Terry, Damp + Caron, or Damp + Stevenson/Carroll/Barea all work for Johnson, Pachulia & Williams. As would Terry/Caron/Barea.
Not sure I'd want to give up Caron to get Williams, but I agree with many folks who think Caron + Marion isn't really working, so if it takes him to get Johnson, and we get a backup 3/4 in return, I could live with that.
Atlanta would save a BOATLOAD of money on such a deal. They'd probably jump on it.
