Do you have a team in mind who would realistically take him?
There's plenty of teams with the want for a PG that is showing what CP3 is showing IMO. Maybe some of those named above aren't interested, but I pick up the phone and see/try. I don't think all the reports are accurate and some are more than likely posturing for teams. I think he's picked up his value enough to be worthy of an even swap even if you just break up that horrible contract into smaller bad contracts like Batum and MKG.
I also agree that CP3 is the lynch pin. Try to find a taker for him first, if no bites, then take him into the playoffs and further show teams what they're missing out on. I just think CP3 has done a really good job in repairing his image to the rest of the league, so much so, that I think you could at least get someone to bite on expiring contracts.
