How about making this a 3team trade:
Toronto: Thompson, Garcia, SAC pick
Denver: Calderon, Alabi, Barbosa (if needed to juice Denver)
Sacramento: Felton, Bargnani
Do a separate deal with Minny (TPE for Flynn?), or the Philly (TPE for Nocioni and pick) or both?
We then pick Barnes (or Vesely) and Valenciunas (or Kanter).
PG: Bayless, (Flynn or Nolan Smith/Matt's man Josh Selby with Philly pick) <==next year chase Myck Kabongo!! (3/3/(1.5))
SG: Derozan, Garcia (2.6/5.5)
SF: Harrison Barnes, James Johnson, Linus Kleiza (Nocioni) (2/1.8/4.5/(6.8))
PF: Ed Davis, Amir Johnson (2/5.5)
C: Jason Thompson, Jonas Valenciunas/orKanter - flipping to starter in a couple of years. (3/2)
Salary would be at $36.4-43.2M with about 13 players. Reggie Evans says he wants to be back - would he accept $3M? Cheap signings of Daeqan Cook (for Matt), or another guard? We would still be under $50M! Financial flexibility could increase with options after next year on: Bayless, Flynn, Nocioni, and Thompson, the first pass options on ED, Demar, and JJ. We could easily dump/trade one PG, Nocioni, or keep if it all works. EDIT: If we have to keep Barbosa it does not kill us $$-wise still at around $53-56M.
Of course if we get #1 pick and take Irving, use next year pick on a strong SF draft (Gilchrist?) with Johnson, Nocioni and Kleiza this year at SF.
