But if we want to go crazy how about this:
Is there a way to combine a CP3 trade and a Gallinari-SnT this summer?
Hardaway, Wright, Powell, Jackson + Boban put us at a bit north of $45M outgoing salary. CP3 makes $38M alone (lol). Throw in the #18 contract and maybe one of Kleber/Curry, does it get us there?
PG: CP3
SG: Doncic
SF: Finney-Smith
PF: Gallinari
C: Porzingis
would be an outstanding starting 5. One of Curry/Kleber might still be on the roster, potentially Brunson, you'd also have the full MLE.
I don't think you can go more all-in than that (if it's even possible financially). CP3 played like an All NBA-guy this season and once his monstrous salary comes off the books we could reload one more time before the Luka-extension kicks in iirc.
