Send Timmy + first for Grimes
Send Timmy + 2nd(s) for air
Stretch waive Timmy
I don't see any of them as realistic. Orlando had an awesome season and they will likely try to get someone very impactful next to their youngsters. I think they would be very dissapointed if all their cap space and all their assets only net them a THJ. I think they might be in a play for any star that becomes available.
Detroit will imho want to take a step forward and they have all the cap space in the world. I think they could do better by overpaying some other vet.
SA can be a trade partner for a straight up dump. I could see them tanking for another year. Utah probably in same category.
Toronto could have a bunch of cap space. How about THJ and Green for Bruce Brown? Only saves some 5 mil, but brings in another very valuable rotation player that is probably better than either THJ or Green. Perhaps we give them our Canadian to free enough money.
