- Charlotte and Memphis involved, as well as possibly Raptors. (Both Charlotte & Memphis are looking to shed contracts in trade).
- 4th and 8th pick and several veterans with Cedi in the mix. #nba trade rumors. (Memphis want to trade down)
Raptors trade (Derozan) for (Parsons, #4)
Memphis trade (Parsons, #4) for (Batum, #8)
Cavs trade (Smith, Clarkson, Cedi, #8, future 1st) for (Derozan, Walker)
Charlotte trade (Walker, Batum) for (Smith, Clarkson, Cedi, future 1st)
1. That trade doesn't work salary wise for Cleveland, they would have to cut another $12 million in that deal. So I think George Hill would go instead of Cedi Osman to match salaries.
2. But that doesn't answer this question: Why would Memphis trade a 2 year albatross and the 4th pick for a 3 year albatross and the 8th pick?
3. Also, why would Charlotte trade away Kemba Walker without getting a guaranteed lottery pick in return? The future 1st from Cleveland on top of all those garbage contracts doesn't seem enough for them...
The main idea makes sense, but when you get into the specifics, there's parts here and there to question if it will truly work.
I have variations to the deal but the main purpose was to put out the potential frame work & reasoning. To many teams & moving parts for me to guess them all.
