That is, we can can take on large amounts of salary in consolidation, even going into tax territory, knowing the cap-raises are going to keep us from being a repeater.

Very tough to trade guys into cap space. But yes it is a possibility. Far more likely though you set up a sign and trade with the other team, rather than find a third party to dump salaries. Teams tend to bend other teams over a barrel when they know they need space.

OR Sign/trade Jonas (or even Kyle), part with T-Ross ... and get a Max Power forward?
Which is not to recommend these moves, but only to suggest that there are all kinds of possibilities to land that put-you-over-the-top "star" (assuming the team still looks ready - otherwise - to take that next step)?

We have 9 players locked into contracts (KL, DC, CJ, PP, BB, BeBe, Bruno, Wright, Powell).
We also have two draft picks (for this calc I've assumed 20th and 10th overall picks).
We also have several free agents. DD, JV, Ross, Scola, JJ and de Colo. Only 4 spots for them right now.
Cap situation:
Keep all cap holds: 8M over cap
Waive JJ, Scola and Nando: 2.3M cap room
Also waive Ross: 11.2M in cap room
Also waive DD: 25.4M in cap room (enough for a max offer on Durant, for example)
If JV and/or Ross are extended those extensions eat into our cap room if they are bigger than their cap holds (11.7M and 8.9M respectively).
OR: Trade Cory, sign/trade T-Ross, part with Scola, etc. ... and get a Max Power forward?
I am not recommending any particular moves - but we COULD manage cap-space, in various and intriguing ways, to land a "star" (if we still look ready - otherwise - to take that next step)?

Roberts appears to be a multi-year deal. Could still be a training camp invite, but I like making it multi-year on the off chance he makes the team.

That is good for Powell.
$125k is $125k.

Powell got a slightly above min first year plus the minimum for the next two, third year unguaranteed. 650k this year. Scola got 2.9M.

What are the chances we'll off load T Ross while he's still an asset before the next season?
