Doc Rivers wants Tayshaun Prince, and their weakness is at SF.
Ainge attempting to trade Prince before buying him out, and there might be a market out there.
Sacto wants to trade Stauskas for frontcourt help.
Clippers: Tayshaun Prince, 5.3 million exception
Celtics: Derrick Williams, 1.4 million exception
Kings: Hawes (using their Terry exception), Barnes
Clippers lose Barnes, but get a 5.3 million exception that they might use, but not sure if they can use it all this season as they're hard capped, but they do shave 1 million from sending out Barnes,Hawes for Prince.
AND they get out from the Hawes contract that runs through 2017-18. They also save 1 million on buying out Barnes in the offseason.
They own Jordan's bird rights so they can sign him to a max deal, BUT this trade right here gives them the option of creating cap room, maybe roughly 12 million. So that might not be the best but at least it creates a better situation for them going forward. Hawes haven't been good for them.
Celtics get a smaller trade exception and sheds some salary if they choose to waive Williams. But the best for the Celtics would be that this weakens the Clippers and we would love that won't we.
Kings get their frontcourt help they wanted, and almost for free, all it costs them is their exception and Williams who most likely won't be a King next year, they have Rudy Gay as a priority, plus Barnes gives them a boost in the 2nd half of this season. In addition they remain under the luxury tax.
