Article About Denver Wanting to Trade

So then it looks like we'll retain all three. As their value in a trade is from salary relief, unless some contender is wanting Udoh, there's not a market for them. And we don't really have FA cap space so I presume we're just going to retain all three.

Yeah, they have no trade value outside of their value as players. No team is trading for them on the purpose of waiving them to save money.

Bright-side: This severely limits how many dumb trades Lopo can come up with.

Wait. A draft day deal counts using that season's cap numbers, not the next seasons, right. If so, Faried for the Ungs should still work as the deals for them THIS season were guaranteed. I think anyway.

Decent question.

On a side note, if we indeed can't trade them, is there any reason we won't bring all of them back, absent waiving everyone to create cap space (which I don't think will happen)?

No, someone already posted the link explaining it all. They are all worth $0.

That's the rule change. They use to be worth that season's salary up until July 1st, but now they are just worth their guaranteed amount in the following year, which is 0 for all of them.

Damnitsomuch.
 
So, really, it's more just a question of Favors. Exum will likely be matched and the three unguaranteed guys should likely be back. Then a question mark on whether or not there's a deal that would include Burks and/or Bradley as they are somewhat superfluous.
 
The good news? Perhaps we can land Patrick Beverley with one of our exceptions if we're willing to part with some asset. Maybe Tomic wants to go to LA.
 
Some serious downside:

Now we don't really have salary for something like an Otto Porter. Not that that's what would happen, but this really hamstrings us.
