    SAC isn't getting enough. I'd rather do a 3 Team trade like this:

    PORTLAND Gets: F Rudy Gay (SAC), G/F Joe Johnson (BKN),
    SACRAMENTO Gets: F Al-Farouq Aminu (POR), F/C Meyers Leonard (POR), G Gerald Henderson (POR)
    BROOKLYN Gets: C Chris Kaman (POR), G Darren Collison (SAC)

    Gay plays 30+ min off the bench
    Lillard / McCollum
    McCollum / Johnson
    Crabbe / Gay
    Vonleh / Gay
    Plumlee / Davis

    We then have $40M in cap space to add to Dame/CJ/Gay/Crabbe/Plums/Ed/Vonleh.

    I think we could add Horford at $20M/year, and then make a run at Durant with Lillard/McCollum/Horford/Gay making the pitch with Olshey and Paul Allen.

    If Durant signs, we'd have to trade Davis to clear enough cap space, but we still have Horford, Vonleh and Plumlee as our bigs (Gay is smallball 4)

    If he doesn't we still have $20M in cap to add to a team that already has the talent to be a darkhorse contender, so we could either bolster the bench or save it to use at the deadline.
