Maybe the Warriors. Wiggins and Green combine for 50m with three years left on their contracts. Or the Lakers. Russell and Hachimura are making 17+ million each. But they cannot really afford to give up picks.
Wiggins is a good one, but they appear to hope to include him in a trade.
Russell has a player option right? There was thought he was going to decline that right and be a FA. If he accepts it he is immediately a trade candidate imo.
I am probably missing several guys. Just curious, who would give up a pick to get off someone? Lavine?
And the bad teams you mention is also true. They have some poor contracts but they can wait them out.
