Someone brought up on RealGM that while the idea of pitching to 3 max stars to take a $5M/yr paycut is total horse****, maybe the idea of assembling Joe Johnson/LeBron/Amare (or David Lee here) isn't so far-fetched. If we can convince Atlanta to take on a S&T package of Gallinari and Chandler, along with Eddy Curry's expiring contract as the poison pill, we could acquire Joe Johnson while maintaining two more max spaces. Essentially, it's the Miami plan, and it'd take losing Gallinari and Chandler to do it. It would certainly be the bold strategy that SI alluded to at the start of the article.
Personally, if we were to trade Gallinari, Chandler, and Curry, I'd rather do it for Chris Paul/Okafor, and then try and convince LeBron or JJ to sign for slightly less than the max (around $14M or so), which allows us to hold onto Lee's bird rights.
