Everyone else can go.

Spellman - waive
Payton - no trade clause - waive
Bullock - T - waive *
Randle - T - waive *
Ntlikina - T- waive
Burks - T - waive *
DSJ - T - waive
Rivers - waive

Our most valuable trading assets in order for another 1st round pick in 2021.

1.Randle
2.burks
3.bullock

Fillers dsj ntlikina

4 picks in next years draft

Backups

PF Obi Toppin

SF draft an attacking scorer that plays D can shoot and is a wiling passer (team guy)- our Dallas pick

C Mitchel Robinson

SG draft attacking scorer that plays D can shoot and is a (leader) - think a guy like barret profile.
Who would come off the bench his rookie year. Our number 1 pick
PG I Quickley

Starters

- PF Vet/rental - a guy like Carmelo Anthony 1 year

- SF Burks/Knox

- C vet/rental- a guy like taj Gipson or Noel for 3-5m

- SG RJ barret *

- PG Vet/rental 1 year Chris Paul 44m

* sign burks or a player like him.

This puts us right at the salary cap

These are the rental vets that can show our youth what playoff basketball is.

Chris Paul can show Quickley what he has learned so his ceiling could be 3/4 as good as him or be a very good backup pg.

Trying to make a move for a filler stop gap guy half way through this season is a waist of time. Especially if the contract stays on the books after this year.

Cp3
Carmelo
Barret
Burks

Not a bad 4 to introduce our future to the playoffs.

Note: our 3rd and 4th pick

Backup center ( Ibou Dianko badjii)
Pg miles McBride another pg to learn from cp3
