What are we likely to get for Barbosa?

I would be happy getting a late 1st round draft pick for Barbosa, while also not taking on any salary beyond this season (ie: expiring contracts only).
I expect the issue that BC is having finding a suitable trade partner for Barbosa is finding a team with cap-space, TPE or a player(s) with a large enough salary to balance the deal, that is also an expiring contract.
For instance, I wouldn't be surprised if San Antonio was potentially interested, but the only asset they have to make the trade work is Jefferson, but there's no way that BC would ever take him back in a trade - doing so wouldn't be worth the 1st round pick SA could offer. I wouldn't be surprised if the Lakers were interested, but I don't think they want to use their TPE until they have addressed their PG situation.

When trading Calderon for a player(s) you have to apply his 10% trade-kicker, then the formula for figuring out how much salary needs to come back as a minimum is essentially: [(salary + 10%) - 100,000]/1.25. The reason for this is that the team trading for him can take a max salary back of what they send out + 25%, then + $100,000 (the formula is just working backwards).
So, given Calderon's contract of approx. $9.781M, the Raptors need to take back a minimum of $8.527M, to balance the salaries. Formula: [(9.781*1.1)-0.1]/1.25 = $8.527 approximately.
If TPE can be applied the same way as player salaries, then the Lakers' TPE would be sufficient ($8.900M). Or does a different formula apply to TPE-based trades?
Any use of the TPE must be able to absorb the full contract being received. So the largest contract the Lakers can receive is, at most, the value of the TPE - nothing more.

From a quick glance around the league, only Utah has a TPE large enough to absorb Calderon's contract. The only way I could see the Lakers getting Calderon would be a 3-team trade (which works on ESPN Trade Machine):
TO TORONTO - $10.5M TPE & Lakers 1st round pick
TO LAKERS - Calderon & 2 small TPEs
TO UTAH - Luke Walton, either Steve Blake or Derek Fisher, and likely some combination of 2nd round pick(s) & cash (for acommodating Toronto & LA to help make the trade happen)
*** even though it works on the Trade Machine, I'm not sure how TPE work in 3-way trades like that

There are lots of trade ideas in the trade forum, by the way.
