Minor Changes but a bit EXPENSIVE

here's 3 ideas I think can be done but could be a bit costly

#1 Trade Sasha exception for Ariza but this is with the agreement that trade 2 happens
#2 Trade Jack for Blake

premise saves NOH almost 20+mill dollars over the course of Ariza contract. Blake is owed 12 mill with 3yrs left while Jack is owed ~11 mill with 2 yrs left. Ariza is owed ~21mill over 3yrs. So NOH gets to dump Ariza but at the cost of Jack and takes on Blake

#3 MLE to Marcus Thorton, I doubt Sac offers him more than this as they also have to resign Daly. Thorton could ask Sac NOT to match I mean if you getting paid the same who would you rather play for? But that would mean we have to gurantee him more PT which is fine as it could save Kobe's legs for the playoffs. This is the scoring spark splug off the bench we need.

All 3 transaction gets us YOUNGER and FASTER, Jack/Thorton/Ariza off the bench w/ Odom would be nasty!!!!

Love it.
Doubt any of the 3 would happen though.

Moving Ariza for zip would upset CP3 I think, which is the last thing the league wants.

Jack just ate Blake alive, pretty sure N.O. saw that loud and clear.

Saving is nice but I think being out of the tax is their main concern and they achieved that with their trades this year.

Doubt LA uses the full MLE after what happened, and probably not for Kobe's backup (although I'm with you, it is needed). Unfortunately, I think they'll stay old and sign a cheap vet like Anthony Parker or something.
Also, Dally is long gone to an EC team for sure so the Kings don't need to save $ for him. I see Dally signing a full MLE with Miami, Bos or NY.

if NOH selling the team, doesn't hurt to clear out more salary. CP3 is gone regardless, he just counting down the days. I dont think dally is taking MLE, Haywood got almost $10mill/yr and now he's a backup, no way in hell Dally settles especially seeing as how theres plenty of teams under the cap looking for a starting C.
