My guess
Safe
Irving/De Larrea/
Christie/Sasser/
Flagg/Marshall/
Washington/Aldama
Johnson/Lively/
Two-way
Poulakidas/Lawal/Ishchenko
Other probables: Nembhard/Biberovic
I don´t think they´d have given up a "1st" and two seconds for Aldama. I think Biberovic was always in their plans, when they completed the trade. Therefore it will get done. Nembhard I put in the probables, cause he does not fit the idea of the new FO perfectly, but they probably valued his skills enough to think he could be used as a situational play or a trade sweetener.
50/50: Gafford/Martin/Cisse. They are probably closely connected. Martin is a horrible contract, but the FO might see his best value as a salary matching tool and Gafford as the best price to do it rather than get three second round picks for Gafford. Let´s say something like Klay/Gafford/Martin for Butler or Klay/Gafford/Martin for Lavine. Cisse probably depends 100% on Gafford.
Likely gone: Thompson, if not as part of the large deal, they´ll find something else.
Gone: Middleton/Powell.
