    KJ and 2nd rounders for Kyle O'Quinn would be great

    The guy that immediately comes to mind, that would fill our biggest need is Andrew Bogut. 11 million dollar player, great on defense and rebounding.

    Very hard to make that happen, would have to be like a 4 for 1 deal, which is not very feasible.

    If we trade Nene we literally have no backup center

    That's why it's 10-12 million. A $10 million player would only require $6.6 million outgoing salary.

    KJ and Ennis is $5 million. Capela and Harrell are another $2.341 million.

    Not to mention, you can bet we're shopping everybody.

    I think 10-12 M will be our salary cap space for the next season. Maybe Morey is not affraid to tak a long contract and reduce to zero this cap space. And use next year the MLE

    KJ, Ennis, Capela and Harrell combined gets you enough salary wise to trade for that type of player, but again, a player in that salary range isn't likely to give you enough to justify that type of deal, imo.

    This could always be a three team deal that Morey has negotiated with another team for their expiring contracts

    We need a center who can post up....Capella is good ,but he is not ready now and the time is now or next year. Only one I can think of is brook lopez.

    Removed guys that I doubt Morey would be interested and unlikely to be moved at all.
