Lol Sixers?

Afaik Bogans years are both non-guaranteed and he is expected to be cut by whoever has him on their cap the day before his guarantee becomes official. Also Philly gave up a 2015 2nd rounder. To me this looks more like a:
"Hey Cleveland, we have way too many draft picks, we can give you one next year + sizeable trade exception and in return we want a 2nd rounder back in some years and the non guaranteed of Keith Bogans for further cap/tax relief shopping or cutting."
 
Not sure I completely understand the article. The writer states the Cavs were motivated to trade Bogans in order to stay under the luxury tax threshold. However, if his deal is non-guaranteed, couldn't they just have released him? I do understand they get a trade exception, so maybe they see where they're at at the deadline and make a move if they need to. For Philly, I don't understand the deal. perhaps their 2nd is so highly protected it will never be conveyed to Cleveland. So they get a 2nd-rounder for essentially just doing some paperwork. They either cut Bogans or they're under the floor and the money gets spent anyway.

I think the plan is more:

Let's see who mimics Paul George in preseason and realizes their title dreams are gone for this season but the owner doesn't want to pay luxury tax for a crippled team or prefers future cap flexibility and rip a small asset off em. Perfect trading chip for a salary cap relief trade.

Memphis is a candidate. Portland would prolly hold on. Maybe the Pacers get desperate to make some deals.

This is a straight up D-League Team. Could be the worst roster i've ever seen even with the additions Noel Shved etc.

The only player who has a 100+ game NBA career is Tony Wroten with 107.
