I was bored, so I made a chart of our easily tradeable assets as well as how much salary a given combination of traded players can take back in return.
Sheed = Rasheed Wallace. Retiring = instant cap savings
G, L = Gaffney and Lafayette. Non-guaranteed, cut for instant savings
Davis = Glen Davis. Expiring Contract, useful player but replaceable (bench player)
Perk = Kendrick Perkins. Major injury question this season, expiring contract looking for a raise next year.
ScalMax = the maximum amount Brian Scalabrine could re-sign for with a sign and trade and avoid becoming a BYC player. Such a deal needs to be a minimum of 3 years, but only year 1 must be guaranteed. The rest could be non=guaranteed; in this case Scal would instantly be a one year expiring contract (think Van Horn a couple years ago).
Take Back = The most combined money such a package could take back in a trade.

Doesn't come out that neat in the post, but it can give you some quick ideas as to the amount of money the C's could save other teams by giving expiring deals (either instantly expiring or just 1 year contracts).
Obviously the Trade Machine works well on ESPN, but it does not include the Scal Expiring S+T wrinkle.
