    I don't think it matters because CJ is just as bad a fit on the Wolves as he is here and the Wolves would have to pull a third team in to make the salaries work. I think there are moves out there that could net us what you are talking about getting for CJ but Neil would have to pull the trigger and I just don't think he's going to do that. Neil is going to spout off some shit about how we "coulda been a contenda" if we were healthy this past season and just bring back everyone and use the MLE to get another contributor. He'll probably also draft BPA at 16 to continue to build our farm system (that's what I think of guys like Nas, Wenyen and Ant since they seemingly never get any run with the big boys).

    I also think they need to renounce Beasley and Juancho to have this cap space which they won't do. Unless when you trading cap holds don't count against cap space.

    No when you are trading cap holds do count including a 120% hold on the rookie scale for first rounders who are drafted but not signed. In order to do an unbalanced trade the same rules apply that are there when signing someone. Again though, all of this is a moot point because there will be a new CBA and who knows what it will look like... include, exclude or add from this current CBA.
