So Sac sends Boogie out finally, right?
Sac in turn brings in CP3 to cover their glaring hole at point guard. Why do this? CP3 is a great locker room guy and is locked in for a bit. He'll give them good culture and the loss of Cousins isn't as big of a sting since they get an elite talent back and have a log jam at 4/5.
LAC sends out CP3 and one of BG/Jordan.
LAC gets Boogie and stud guard from team three.

Why? CP3 is slowly getting old, and Griffin could potentially be out or Jordan and Cousins could be a sketchy pairing. Cousins is on a deal that runs just as long as Pauls and is a bit younger. Clips need to reshuffle their cards anyways.

So my idea for the potential third team would be Butler, the only problem is that value may be hard to match. Giving the Clips Butler would give them someone who can handle being the primary facilitator and be a two way star as well.

The Bulls do it to make room for Wade and Rondo and get a third stud to pair with them in either Jordan or BG. Lopez or one of the other bigs may have to be moved afterwards though.

The part where you said CP3 is getting old is why Sac doesn't do this deal.

CP3 has an option this June, why does he want to play in SAC?

So the kings trade cousins and get CP3 for 2 years. convey this years pick to the bulls and the 2019 pick to the sixers.
How does this fix the Kings all your doing is trading 2 years of cousins for 2 years of Paul. If he don't opt out.

The kings have WCS, Skal, Malachi, Papa.
Gay, Cassipi, and Mclemore are FA

The kings are going to want long term pieces who will grow with them as they try to dig out from this dark place.

The clips if they could get Butler for Griffin should be all over that. One year of Griffin + Redick for 3 years of Butler + Nikola Mirotić.

This is completely unrealistic for both teams

Not only is it unrealistic, trading 2 years of cousins plus a possible extension for 1 season of Chris Paul is probably the worst thing the Kings could do.

Yeah Sorry this just really doesn't make any sense for either team.

I like the idea of just working out Gay for Wes Johnson, Brice Johnson and something else once 90 days is up.

What did Rudy Gay do to you? Did he scar your childhood? Did he bury a game winning dagger against the thunder years bag? What the eff gives? Wesley Johnson and Brice Johnson???

"something else" insinuates a mediocre pick to me, which is relatively close to his value given that Dave Joerger is not a fan of Rudy Gay.

Brice Johnson is going to be good...He would fit very nicely next to Boogie or WCS.

It'd be really hard to match salaries, the Clippers are hard capped at the apron and they're just about $2.5M below it. Rudy makes $13.3M and the combined salaries of Wes and Brice are about half of that, $6.9M between them. There'd have to be more pieces involved and that makes it really hard to find a fair trade.
