Simmons is the least durable but it's close between him and Hughes, both missing more than 100 games over five years. Butler is the only All-Star...and is owed the most money.

Worth noting that even though Butler has a contract past the 2010 bonanza, he will be in the last year of his deal, most likely a highly productive player, and certainly a tradeable asset.

…of course they would have to find a team under the cap, which may be difficult, but perhaps taking back money and back-loading a deal for a free agent could work.

….or sign and trade deal of butler for a free agent?
