GS picks outgoing

So we can get this year's GS 1st round draft pick after they select him and/or 2019 1st rounders and after....
I think Lee can play, despite his inabilty to defend at a high level, it just isn't in his abilities, however, he is a very good rebounder, does use his body to box out, and he does have point/forward abilities to facilitate and score in the post that he hasn't been able to showcase this year since Draymond Green took over
I would not even consider taking Lee if GS didn't send us at least this years draft pick *which they can pick for us and then ship the rights to us*
Not sure if we can get any more besides that but would teams be willing to take Lee for less than the this years 1st rounder is the question, as Lee isn't McGee
If we do make such a move with GS, it would pretty much seal our commitment to building a CHAMPIONSHIP CONTENDER NEXT SEASON, which I think is unrealistic anyway
We do have trade exemptions that we would send back as well as players in their contract years that do not have to be picked up such as Shved
Will we also consider trading CA to a team like Houston if they offer us a decent combination of assets?
Would CA and his ego consider joining a LEGIT CHAMPIONSHIP contender while taking a back set with Harden's team
They also have the talent to make up CA's defense, with players such as D12 *assuming healthy*, with Ariza/Brewer or KJ McDaniels/Beverely/Josh Smith/ Terrence Jones/DMO, though some of these players would be needed to be packaged to match CA's salary though we would have the 150% rule that we can use once again, as we would be under the cap
Likely, we would also take on Koustas Pap's contract of about 5m which is unguaranteed, who was originally drafted by us as mid/later 2nd rounder, who we likely would try to trade out if we can get back a 2nd rounder
CA would have to agree to such a trade with a no trade clause, though he would make much more money with NO STATES TAX, and a trade kicker on top of it
I would be looking at New Orlean's 1st rounder *though there are protections on it* and 3 of our 2nd round picks in consective years
We would still have cap space to sign some cap friendly deals like Aijinca, posssibly even still signing 2 poison pills constructed like Asik/Lin's, with RFA's Middleton/Draymond Green *which are probably both unlikely* but if we can find 2 players worthy of using the poison pills on, which must be RFA's that are in their rookie conttracts, it would be worth it as it would not cost us much salary in the first 2years of the deal at about 5m per year
Now if we can make both moves, we would be getting 3 1st rounders and some 2nd rounders in this summers draft, to focus on development in one year, while we would be putting ourselves in VERY GOOD POSITION in 2017 when the cap rises 20m, likely to sign 3 STAR talents and more with UFA talents, with many being great fits in the Triangle, and we could form a trio just like Miami did in 2010, possibly even grabbing another talented 2nd/3rd tier player or/and very good role players
Durant
Whiteside
Lebron
Noah
Pau Gasol
Horford
D12
Kevin Love??
DeMar DeRozan
Roy Hibbert/David West *though both could opt out this summer which West might gamble with while Hibbert might not since there will be a rise in cap space and he is still young in 2017*
Chandler Parsons
Wilson Chandler
Battum
Gallo
David Lee
Ryan Anderson
Hickson/Speights
James Johnson
Bayless/Vasquez/DJ Augistine
There will be many more other players talents on ALL level of talents including veterans like Kobe, Wade, etc,
With many RFA's, though the TOP ONES like Anthony Davis/Andre Drummond/Lilliard will not available and are expected to resign with their current teams, though others like MKG/Harrison Barnes and a few others could be possiblities

2019 second round draft pick to New York
Houston's 2019 2nd round pick to New York [Houston-New York, 2/19/2015]
Houston OWNS ALL OF THEIR 1st rounders except for this summer's that is going to The Laker's with the trade for Lin
However, the players that we would be getting back if they indeed trade for CA, would also have value, such as DMO/Terrence Jones, much like Denver got 1st rounders for Felton/MosGoV in addition to the picks and cap space that saved them over $50m in salaries/taxes we traded to acquire CA
Both Terrence Jones and DMO, would be locked in their rookie contracts becoming RFA's in 2016/17 the same year that the 20m would be added in to spend, though their cap holds are quite low, with their BIRD RIGHTS while we can still resign them if we kept them or traded them with cap holds of roughly, the range of 3.5m *Terrence Jones* and 3.3m *DMO*
Would not be surprised if we had to take back Jason Terry in a sign and trade to match salaries, with an unguanteed contract outside of the 1st year, in order to make the salaries match much like we did for Q Rich to Toronto to acquire AB
