JO
Assuming the Clippers are backing out of the race, this is between the Celtics and Jerry West. If CP then opts out after this season the only guys on our payroll would be Pierce,Johnson and a possible MLE signing and cap holds, leaving around 24 million in salaries and 34 million in capspace, if we use stretch exception on MLE signing we could be under 23 million to sign both CP and Dwight.

Howard
This team is much better than the one Jerry West is planning, his plan is only to screw the Celtics btw. And the Clippers hopefully backs out of the trade, they are even much better off with the Minny pick and their young core and they could be the best team in LA in two years tops.
I wold even give them Glen Davis in a S&T, it' NOT about CP it's about HOWARD, it's HOWARD that is the prize.
I'm starting to think a deal could be reached without a 3rd team, especially if the warrior couldn't get Chandler. And if we had to take on Okafor or Ariza we could send either to a 3rd team under the cap.
