    Also, maybe Josh Richardson or McDermott on San Antonio?

    I already guessed Klay earlier. I think it's not a crazy thought, especially if the Warriors are also looking to move Green, both to placate Poole and get younger.

    Well it says “shooter” and not “chucker”, so it can’t be Westbrook.

    Going to be tough for a team to give up what it would take, to match Ben's salary.

    Yes - but not a veteran yet...

    I think the possibilities are (age >27, make > $15M, have somewhat of a name as a shooter):
    Eric Gordon
    CJ McCollum
    Klay Thompson
    McDermott + Richardson

    That's about it.

    Would take more than Simons and I wouldn't trade him for Ben.
    The NBA is mostly about shooting these day.
