As Ray's departure has left us with some money to spend under the apron, but only a few ways to spend it, I was wondering if our rights to Dooling could open up some intriguing new sign and trade possibilities (since we can't sign and trade Krstic and nobody else was making much).

As he made $2.25 mil last season, we can bump him 20% to $2.7 (with two more non-guaranteed years, a la Von Wafer in the Bass trade) and then add on the non-guaranteed $1.7 mil of Moore and Williams to make $4.4 mil.  Assuming we'd be over the tax threshold, that package could bring back another player or free agent with a starting salary under $5.5 mil.  To incentivize the transaction we could throw in one of our picks (our 2013 first rounder or the Charlotte pick or one of our other 2nd rounders, depending on the returning asset).

Possible targets would be Marcus Camby, Kyle Korver, Ronnie Brewer, CJ Watson, Daniel Gibson, Gerald Green, Vince Carter, Dorell Wright, Brandon Rush, Lou Williams, Courtney Lee, Barbosa, Darrell Arthur, Kwame... and others I'm sure I haven't mentioned.
