If we're keeping Marion, Miller and TT who is going out in that trade? That's the biggest hurdle.
I think Denver is willing to blow their team up but Moz (4.65) and Afflalo (7.56) make 12.1 million combined.
We don't have the pieces to make that happen. We can absorb Mozgov with the trade exception but we don't have an asset that matches AA. We'd need a third team but we don't have much to offer, unless we're moving Waiters in a deal.
TT we almost have to hang on to at this point. We're so thin in the front court that it's hard for me to envision a scenario where we don't just end up overpaying the only young big we have that is worth a shit (relatively speaking). That really leaves Dion, Memphis pick and our trade exception as the only pieces we can realistically move this year.
I think I actually would prefer Wilson Chandler to AA. Here is another crazy thought.. I actually wouldn't mind getting Hickson back who does the exact same things as Thompson who is going to cost 1/2 the price next year. Even if you think Thompson is better, you can't deny they mostly look like clones out there.
I can't say what a trade with Denver would look like. It would most likely need a 3rd team, giving up Thompson and of course whatever other assets we got if we went the blockbuster route.
