The flip-side is Cle on a 3 for 1, which might be hard to overcome.
Cleveland gets Powell/J. Green/WCS
Dallas gets Drummond/Fournier
Orlando gets Johnson/Burke
You can mix and match Powell/Johnson and Burke/Green however you like and it still works. Add second rounders as you see fit.
Issues:
Dallas is sending five and taking back two and becomes a LT payer.
I sent Green with Powell to partially compensate Cleveland for taking on Powell's extra years. Same could be done with Powell/Green to Orlando and Johnson and Burke going to Cleveland. Powell doesn't fit well either place. In this version Cleveland saves about $10 million (pro-rated) this season. I could argue that Powell could play with Vuc., but Orlando is shooting-challenged through the rest of the roster and Green and Powell don't fit well there.
Cleveland doesn't need Allen, McGee, Powell and WCS. There is probably a market for McGee and WCS so adding other teams with some more compensation to Cleveland is possible.
Green for Powell is good compensation, not sure they would want both Powell and WCS for Drummond, but that is whatever.
Orl is certainly light, wonder if 2 seconds is enough for them since they're rumored to be looking for a first (not worth a first).
