CP3 is gone regardless. Depends on whether they cut him outright or find someone willing to take him for assets, however small.
CP3ms $30m deal doesn’t guarantee until 6/28, meaning they potentially get a framework to move him if someone needs him as ballast or is willing to do a $30m rental to clear long term cap.
Wiggins? They will want to move him but salaries of $26m, $28m, $30m (PO) mean they may not be getting a ton of relief back for him.
Dray? I think that is sunk cost at this point. $24m, $26m, $27.7m (PO) for an aging guy with major attitude problems who assaulted his own teammate.
TBH, I see if I can fire sale the likes of Payton, Looney, Kaminga, and Moody to dump the other non-Steph salaries then.
This is feasible for them as long as they don’t end up in the top 4 of the lottery this year, as it conveys their pick to Portland and extinguishes any obligation in a shite draft.

I honestly don't know what they are doing.
If they are serious about getting out of the tax, then they are going to suck as a team, and what's the point of sucking and having Steph on the team? Their run is over and if they are goign to suck, they might as well just go full in on the rebuild.
They could get back ridiculous offers for Steph right now.

Who are the teams that would realistically consider BI?
Hawks
Bulls
Pistons
Nets(?)
Lakers
Clippers (?)
Houston
Cavs
76ers ( added)
If you have others add it to the mix . Point being there aren’t that many teams.
Pels aren’t going to get a better player back imo. They looking at draft picks with potential (Detroit) young players with potential that have yet to show any consistency ( J green , J smith, Mobley ) or devalued player with potential on sale( Lavine)
