Good lord, I said in retrospect I didn't think it was necessary. The team doesn't need cap space until next year (or later). They aren't going to need it this summer, cause they aren't signing anyone big. Okafor and Ariza would have been decent vets to keep around Davis and would have made his transition easier. That was my point. It would have been better than almost 14 million in wasted/dead money this year. That's all I meant..

It wouldn't have been better. There are many, many factors why that trade was necessary beyond "cap space".
