    4 years 140M??? Holy crap.

    We would be 3-all stars and a g-league team for the next 3 years.

    Please do not compare us to a team that has the refs on their side for half a decade.

    Capela and NeNe to Sacremento.

    Butler and Atlanta 2nd to Houston.

    Sacremento 1st and Houston 1st to Philly.

    Capela and nene in the next calendar year, is over the 20.5m threshold to satisfy the byc if I'm correct.

    Sacremento gets a young core piece to add to their almost playoff team and make a push for the playoffs. Fox and capela seem a great fit because both can run the floor so well for their position.

    Philly acquires 2 1st rd picks for losing butler rather than watch him walk away. Adds back to the asset pool.

    Houston gets butler of course and a potential high 2nd. Can then target DeAndre with mle money.

    Paul
    Harden
    Butler
    Tucker
    Jordan
    .......
    Gordon

    I faint now...

    This would be ideal, and I hope Jimmy is willing to take his player option next season to make it happen.

    4 year max for Jimmy is nice...we stop paying him before he becomes a shell of himself

    there’s a good chance he’s a high level player for the duration of that contract

    There is thing called the MLE; we will add nice pieces and Paul's contract will be more move-able when he becomes an expiring. Perfect time to lock and re-load at that time!

    Correction: Sixers are now willing to play ball. Pretty much up to Jimmy at this point, because Morey can definitely find a 3rd team willing to play.

    1-yard-line confirmed!

    Assuming in this scenario this was a sign and trade? if so, this would be nearly impossible to do because of the hard cap. Under a hard cap scenario it's almost impossible to keep Gordon and is certainly impossible if you add an MLE target. Butler would have to give up money.
