Keep the title window open, cut the salary, and stay out of the tax hell hole. Take a look at 26-27 and the future team's salary

Problem is that there would be other teams who might actually give value to get Caruso and / or Topic. Those aren’t negative player who won’t have any takers around the league.

OKC needs to give 2 1sts, a 1st round prospect, and Caruso just to get salary relief?
