Even Colangelo did this a bunch of times.

He got rid of that atrocious contract with Gay playing at an all time low. Not only did he do that, but the only salary that runs past this year is Chuck Hayes at 6 million. Not something great, but its definitely something surprising considering Gay's value.
His job isn't done yet though. For this team to be successful in the future I want a good tank with one of the big prospects coming to Toronto. I want one of Parker, Wiggins, Randle. Hell I'd be happy with Exum (who I know little about, but have heard good things about) or Marcus Smart, maybe even Emblid.
This likely means that Lowry (expiring) and DeRozan (while his value is high) are gone. Maybe in Val if the offer is there. No one on this team should be untouchable.
After all the stuff Colangelo has put the Raptors through, this is a good time to fix his wrong doings, by tanking in the perfect draft to tank in.
