Now this is an interesting idea to explore.
Who would be your untouchables? Luka, DFS, Green and Hardy? Anyone else you'd prefer to keep as part of the next iteration of the Mav's?
If you aren't willing to deal Luka, DFS, Green and Hardy who would a playoff team be interested in? Wood and Powell expire. RB and SD have partial guarantees. Anyone else with LT money? Heck, would anyone even be interested in the the guys with ST money?
Do you trade for expiring deals? We are over $10mm over the cap without bringing back Wood and Powell. It would take a lot of dealing to get significant cap room for the upcoming summer...and for who? Russell Westbrook anyone?
Or, do you take on multi-year vets and get young players and picks as part of the compensation? Have everyone expire when the cap expands and bring in multiple guys.
How do you guarantee yourself a guaranteed 2024 pick (assuming you keep 2023) so that you can have picks to trade this summer. Maybe the 'worst of' from one of these teams with multiple unprotected firsts?
