Expiring deals can be very valuable in the right situation but not necessarily all situations

I think next year expiring deals will regain significance with new luxury tax.
Regarding Barbosa, if you look at the lack of demand for him in the off season and the fact he was not signed until the season started with Boston - at minimum! - then there is likely the issue Raptor fans - myself included - significantly overvalued not only the contract but the player.

Seriously, who does want Jose????

Y! Sources: Final hurdle for a Rudy Gay-to-Toronto deal hinges on third team involvement. http://tinyurl.com/ap4yde8The final hurdle for the salary dump of Memphis Grizzlies forward Rudy Gay to the Toronto Raptors hinges on finding a third team to absorb the expiring contract of Raptors guard Jose Calderon, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
Rudy Gay is averaging 17.2 points and 5.9 boards this season. The Grizzlies have inquired with multiple teams over the past several days, searching for a willing partner to facilitate a three-team deal, sources said.
Despite organizational proclamations to the contrary, new Memphis ownership and management is determined to unload Gay and the $37 million owed him as soon as possible, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
Calderon has a $10.5 million expiring contract.
"With so many quality point guards, they're struggling to find a spot for Calderon," one league general manager told Yahoo! Sports.
Preferably, the Grizzlies want a less expensive small forward to plug into the lineup for Gay, sources said. Memphis has been relentless in shopping Gay over the past several weeks.

I wonder about Phoenix. Supposedly they are willing to deal Dudley who has 12.75M on his contract after this season. Would Phoenix take Calderon and pay an extra $3-4M this season to save $12.75M over the next few years? That is about a $9M swing.
Something simple like this that Hollingers numbers add 6 wins:
http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=b9m75e7
Toronto: Gay
Memphis: Dudley, Davis, 2nd rd pick from Raptors, (I would imagine a big trade exception would come of this)
Phoenix: Calderon, 2nd rd pick from Raptors
Raps can then follow it up with something like this:
http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=9wr7jdw
Toronto: Gasol
Lakers: Bargnani, Kleiza, Anderson
Memphis: Meeks, Jamison (using TPEs)
Lakers save a tonne of money this year and next (especially next with SUPER luxury tax). Memphis adds depth currently lacking and replaces a shooter in Meeks. Neither Meeks, Jamison, or Gasol have been happy with D'Antoni's playing time.

(Pretty much any roster depth chart that doesn't contain the swear word "Barg----" is something I sign up for.)

It takes them out of the super tax, but it is Kupchak that you'd have to deal with. He'll be asking for Ross, JV and Lowry for Gasol not Bargnani and Kleiza.
Gasol is bench, owed $39M over the next 2 years and they are looking at a payroll of over $100M.
