It would have to be for a non-guranteed contract for next year. Not sure if there are many out there. I know Erick Dampier is out there, but I doubt Dallas trades him (although Hinrich/Deng would be good talent to add to Dallas' roster, so it is a possibility).

Otherwise we would have to wait until free agency and trade him to a team under the cap. Doubt anyone does that deal just because of the wealth of options available in free agency.

Hou, you can't trade Deng for a brad Miller deal or a shaq type deal. As Po3 said, you have to trade hin for a non guarnteed deal for a player with this upcoming season as a player option or trade him to someone like the rumored clippers deal where we commence the deal after the draft and essentially gain instant cap space because we take nothing back and they are under the cap.

God I would wet myself if we unloaded Deng for the #8 pick. Plain & simple we have to do something because Miami is making moves to clear up enough for 3 max FA's.

And how many teams are under the cap tomorrow at the draft? West also makes less than half of what Deng makes.

I don't think it will work out how they think it will. They're not getting Bron and I think Bosh goes with them but I wouldn't be surprised to see them get Wade, Amare and JJ. If anything, I think that pushes Bron here more. NY won't have much of anything left and the cavs can't compete with that. But Rose, Bron, Bosh and Noah can beat them.
