unless we do not take back salaries or less salaries by trading CA and whatever contracts we get back, we are unable to sign/trade for anyone
though we still have other pieces we can use like Lee/Lance Thomas etc...

thing is about CA, we can lose him for nothing if he opts out and he can become a toxic player if he wants to
it is probably more likely that we are looking to trying to get a better deal than what is offered for CA

We simply have no use for Ryan Anderson with our roster but I think many teams could actually use his skill set as a stretch 4/5
Thing is a has a 3year 20mill per year deal that we do not want to take back along with Meyers Leanard

IF WE MUST take back a contract like Ryan Anderson, we should get back 2 1st rounders and change
Portland's 2 draft picks look like they can play, a reason they might not want to take Ryan Anderson after consideration

Caleb Swanigan and possibly a steal in Zach Collins as well

Portland has a high salary though, they eventually will likely trade some players to offload tax/salaries...

Had the Jazz retained G-Heyward's rights prior to his Boston signing? If so -- why wouldn't they just have matched the offer or is that a different situation between restricted/unrestricted? Get confused on this crap sometimes.

And Bulls can't sign Rondo and trade him to us for say KOQ/KUZ package?

Rondo was waived/bought out so that the Bulls didn't need to opt-in to his $13M deal
