3.) Bismack Biyombo

After an impressive season off the bench in Toronto, the Orlando Magic surprisingly gave the 28-year-old Biyombo a four-year, $70 million deal this past summer.

Armed with Nikola Vucevic, Aaron Gordon, and a recently added Serge Ibaka, the signing raised some eyebrows across the league. Now, with signs pointing towards another rebuild, Orlando could look to get out of that contract as they try to move forward.

After trading Ibaka to Toronto just last week, the Magic obtained the Los Angeles Clippers first round pick this summer. Now, Orlando owns two picks in the 2017 NBA Draft.

Would that Clippers pick be worth it for Dallas to take on the next three years of Biyombo’s contract?

Dallas could send a package around Deron Williams and another player that would provide some cap relief for Orlando going forward.
