I would hope so... if not it makes no sense. It would be all about trading for the 1st rounder to package for a player (Cousins, George, Sign and Trade?).
Anderson, Onuaku, Harrell and 2020 1st for PG Sign Melo after buyout Sign Deron Williams, Nene CP/Williams Harden/Gordon PG/Ariza Melo/Wiltjer Capela/Nene
Anyone have an updated roster & cap breakdown post trade? @larsv8 don't you keep an active spreadsheet?
http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=y94utrsx Just for fun Pacers get draft picks from both Rockets and Pelicans C Capela / Jefferson PF Anthony Davis SF Trevor Ariza SG Paul George PG Chris Paul
Melo for Anderson, filler, rights to stash and future pick Capella Melo Ariza Harden Paul with Gordon, Nene, MLE, biannual, vet mins = ???
[edit]: just use the Spotrac salary page ← (seems more up to date with all the recent NG acquisitions)

Atlanta trades Paul Millsap and Tim Hardaway Jr Houston trades Ryan Anderson and Trevor Ariza would the numbers work? Would Atlanta take Anderson?
I think you'd need a third team for Ryan Anderson. Naturally I keep mentioning Sacramento because that's his hometown. You'd have to throw in other considerations, and I don't know what kind of pick you'd get in return, but if you swing that to Atlanta.........something like that, maybe. Or Philadelphia. Some teams want to win and some teams want to rebuild. Among the former, you can't get the premier free agents yet. Maybe Morey's making his calls there.
Zach Randolph as Anderson backup. He can grab a lot of rebounds. Sign cousins or davis for center. We should have real 20 plus player. Chris just score 18.4 he cannot compare with Thompson. Our aims is to beat warriors not to form a big 3 team like leborn. Our team has got the 3 rd best result already. It is no point to down grade rather than upgrade every position.
