Okay, so here are some targets worth thinking about, in my opinion, that are at least plausible and fit the criteria of teams trying to save money, clear cap space now, and clear long term money.
Atlanta:
-Marvin Williams, 6.713 mill. With JJ overpaid, they may clear a wing.
Charlotte:
-Gerald Wallace, 10.5 3 yrs
-Diaw, 9.0, 2 yrs
-Who knows what they will do. Larry Brown is impulsive.
Chicago:
-Luol Deng, 11.345 mill, 4 yrs
-They may need to clear some space still for more FA's or they may want to get Sheed+Baby if they sign Wade and Lebron and want a PF.
Cleveland:
-Verejao, 7.032 mill, 5 yrs
-Willims, 9.3 mill, 3 yrs
-Boobie Gibson, 4.016 mill, 3 yrs
-They may strip it down if they fail to keep james. I don't like gibson or williams that much, but we could absorb those bad contracts to get a guy like verajao, and williams would be a good bench sub at least
Denver:
-Nene 11.360 mill, 2 yrs
Golden State:
-Lots of possibilities discussed here:
http://forums.celticsblog.com/index.php?topic=39675.msg799229#msg799229-all essentially surround relieving G.S. of Ellis or Biedrins (both for 4 years, ellis at 11 mill and biedrins at 9 mill) and picking up an extra piece or two of azubuike, wright, randolph, morrow for our troubles.
Clippers:
-Kaman, 11.8 mill, 2 yrs
-Who knows? Maybe they'd prefer perk/griffin and more capspace going forward.
Miami
-Beasley, 4.963 mill, 3 yrs
-Much rumored that Miami wants to clear him for space.
Minnesota
-Big Al, 13 mill, 3 yrs
-I like this one. Minny could dump him to us and take back package #3 (sheed+Baby), keep baby, and save a bunch of dough.
New Orleans:
-Okafor 11.495, 4 yrs
-Maybe we could also get Julian Wright to help the bench.
Philadelphia:
-Brand 15.960 mill, 3 yrs
-Iguodala 12.346 mill, 4 yrs
-Nocioni 6.850 mill, 3 yrs
-lou Williams 5 mill, 3 yrs
-I don't want brand, but he fits the profile. Turner duplicates what iggy does, and we haven't signed ray yet, so could we grab iggy for package 3? If so, would they give us Speights since they'd be getting Baby and major cap relief? if not Speights, then hawes or thadeus young?
Phoenix:
-Barbosa, 7.1 mill, 2 yrs.
-Still young, usually a good 3 point shooter. If phoenix could ditch his salary, they'd have more room to add pieces for Nash's final push.
Toronto:
-Turkoglu, 9.8 mill, 4 yrs
-calderon, 9.0 mill, 3 yrs
-not a fan of either in this scenario, unless they sweetened it with what will be a very good 1st round pick to take hedo's big contract.
Utah:
-Okur, 9.945 mill, 2 yrs
-Milsap, 7.6 mill, 3 yrs
-Who knows what they're doing. i don't think they'd dump milsap, but who knows? buyers remorse?
