I don't understand.

You trade Bibby but what do you get ? And what is the $2.5M ?
You trade Marvin, but for what ? and Jefferson is making $15M next season, what are these $6M ?
Chandler is making $12.75M unless he opt-out.
Kapono is at more than $6M next season.

OP, In the interest of educating, there are several sites that do a good job of reporting team's salary obligations.

http://www.shamsports.com/content/pages/data/salaries/index.jsp

By going team to team to you can see who is under contract for next year and for how much.

When you trade with a team and you are both over the salary cap (which with holds (accounting charges factored in to maintain player rights) we are) then the salaries of the trade must be with 120% and 100K of each other. If you don't want to do the math, it is probably easier to just think that in any trade that the salaries should be roughly the same on each side.

The team salary cap isn't set yet, but is expected to be 56.1M, which I think means a luxury tax of 68M (you don't want to exceed the luxury tax unless you are sure of sell-out crowds and playoff success or the team will lose a lot of money).

Next time you post a plan it can factually sound allowing people to focus on the quality and likelihood of the moves. :D

OP, in the interest of educating, it's 'our', not 'are'.
