Obviously it would be better to trade for him and have his bird rights. Johnson for Oladipo works as a trade (and reduces Houston's cap by $5m). What additional compensation would we be willing to add?
When trading with Houston right now, the first question I always ask is "how can we save Fertitta more money?"
I wouldn't touch Wall or Gordon with a 10-foot pole, but something like Johnson/Boban/Terry/cash for Oladipo/House could be a decent monetary haul that would at least get his attention. Houston saves money this year in cash considerations and salary reductions, could save even more if Johnson is interested in a buyout, and they also get out of House's money next year. Terry is a cheap rookie to root for and Boban is a much needed positive (and expiring) locker room personality to make a bad season a little less painful.
