Assuming the big 4-way with Houston, Minnesota, Atlanta, and Golden State falls apart, here's a Dallas hypothetical I keep coming back to:
We know Houston is looking to trade Capela and wants a wing, a center, and future cap flexibility. Memphis wants to deal Iggy. And Dallas has shown interest in Capela in the past. What about this?

Houston gets their wing and center who both have no long-term money after this year, and if they do come back they'll be cheap. And note that the outgoing and incoming salaries match almost exactly, which is important with their current cap situation. Dallas gets Capela and a non-guaranteed Nene. And Memphis gets an expiring, a non-guaranteed McLemore, and the GS 2nd Rounder from Dallas.
Normally I'd say that Houston would laugh at this, but I've been getting all sorts of desperation vibes out of of them lately where they may be set on moving Capela and it could be Morey's last big hoorah. So I wouldn't put it past them to do something purely for the near-term.
Interested?
