LAC out: Gallo, Lou, Bev
LAC in: Melo, Vuc

Clippers reset and dump a ton of salary.

ORL out: Vuc, DJ, Simmons, OKC 1st top 20 prot
ORL in: Gallo, Bev, Ferg, Abrines, 2019 OKC 1st unp, 2021 OKC 1st lotto prot

Magic get assets for taking salary.

OKC out: Melo, Ferg, Abrines, 2019 1st unp, 2021 1st lotto prot
OKC in: Lou, DJ, Simmons, 2020 1st

Thunder get needed pieces.

LAC gives up too much here. Beverley and Lou are two of their best assets.

Hmmm... does OKC want Lou? LAC will happily keep him and toss a SRP + cash to help compensate for missing value. OKC might want to just focus on a bigger luxury tax reduction (taking in Lou makes their tax bill jump a decent) as they're already getting enough bench pieces from ORL.

LAC
C - Vucevic, Gortat, Boban
PF- Melo (or bought out), Harrell, Dekker
SF- Harris, WesJ, Wallace
SG- Robinson, Lou, Evans
PG- SGA, Teodosic, Thornwell

For the Clips i dig this very much. All dat 2019 cap space and the Logo at the helm, YUM!

It's a fair trade value wise, but as most of us Clippers fans have been saying in every dump-Gallo thread (which seem to be most Clippers threads here nowadays) it doesn't make a lot of sense direction wise.

The Clippers are gonna have about $60M in capspace already with Gallo on the books, it makes more sense to use those assets to bring in picks or young players than using them to have $80M in capspace, since they're not gonna have much more use for $80M in free agents than they would for $60M.

Yeah I like the idea and the value, but if I'm the Clippers I rather try to rehab a bit of Gallo's value before trading him away or just keep him if it comes to it.

For OKC I like this, not sure if the owners would, but our ceiling rises considerably.

Orlando should do this deal 10/10 times.
