I only jumped to the last page, so it may have been said before ...

A selling team having cap space can be a big part of opening up a later trade. Being able to take on a bigger expiring contract suddenly increases the number of teams that you can deal with.

I'm thinking that any trade involving zad or tanev might be just to grease the wheels on the two big trades to be made. I wouldn't read too much into the physical return.
