Even if the deals are announced today, the actual business formally starts on July 6th. I also think SnT could be very much in play, but I never thought it to be a way to generate serious return. For example, for Cavs it would be as simple as sending Strus and Schroeder to another team(s) and Lakers would be gentlemen and help do a SnT for a SRP or something. They can always renounce the TE they would get and receive all of their cap space back. SnT is not an obstacle for that.
My dream SnT target would be Allen, but I am affraid Lakers would need to add a FRP
Right, I get it. But, the "cap room" LA has is largely dependent on the Lakers renouncing Lebron's huge cap hold, to my understanding.
What I'm predicting is that they won't land a free agent significant enough to warrant taking that path. I could be wrong.
