That team is cooked, they need a complete tear down and to basically just dump everything other than Ellis, Carter and Murray. And I'm iffy on Murray cause he needs a contract soon.
Honestly, I would give it a year (maybe a half). Lavine is going to be hard to move, he is good enough to be part of a winning team. Sabonis is also good, so you have 2 guys right there. I don't see any big blow away offers for their players, Fox would have been the only one, but they got back a suspect return for him.
I don't think Perry can afford to give them a year, that team is going to finish with 38-44 wins next year and be out in the play in. Scott's not a big fan of LaVine either, but that's gonna be a tough player to move. Here's what he said about Zach two years ago
Sabonis can get them a decent return, DeMar could get them something near the deadline from a team that needs a bench scorer. They have to blow that team up asap, nothing fits with it.

To the Perry point, I think that was more in reference to trading for him. at this time, he has him on the roster. I don't think you pay to move him, so basically just pay him to lead the tank?
The return on the other guys could be limited and there is a chance that the right coach (going to guess Mike Malone ain't coming back, but still) could get more out of the roster. It's not too far from the light the beam team and aside from OKC the West is a pretty level playing field top to bottom.
