Not at all. We might lose the max cap room but that doesn't mean we won't have the flexibility to get it back if the right opportunity comes along. There's a team option on Bynum next year for over 12M we could shed before July 10th, for example.

If you move pure expirings for Green, yes, you would be out of a max free agent, even with waiving Bynum and Varejao for their non-guaranteed savings. You'd only have around $6m under the cap at that point.
If you do a swap of Varejao for Green, you'd add around $5m in cap space to put you at $11m or so. After that, you'd have to dump some combination of Jack, Tristan, Bennett, and Waiters to get up to max cap space for a Lebron-ish offer.

I think we only have $36 million in guaranteed contracts next year. And if they had to - I think they could easily trade Bennett and Zeller which would shed another 5-6 million if a promising deal emerged

What's LA's motivation?
Salaries dont' match up either. We'd need to get somebody else too which shifts the value equation in our favor.
I'd do it if we could though.

That team is still not going to get Kevin Love into the playoffs and he was extremely close to being traded last year. I know its a different regime there, but you have to wonder if KLove ends up on the block this year. Hope for losses in Minny!

Even if we managed to get Kevin Love, should we really be starting Gee at SF for the rest of the season? He made Snell look like Durant last night. He's our three and D guy who isn't a good defender and cannot consistently hit a three point shot.

Until someone wants to trade their SF for Jack and a future 1st.
