I want to get a clear picture of our cap situation. I ran the salaries through excel and I came up with $60.8 million with Mo and roughly $58 million without Mo. The projected cap is supposed to be around $63.2 million for next season. Did anyone get something different?
Dude popped smoke right around the time the whole BlazerFanatic thing went down. He hasn't really been back since then.
Storyteller said on another forum that we only will have the MLE and the BAE this offseason. Our "capspace" will be less than the MLE - so we get the MLE, as teams don't get both IIRC.
I was getting a little over 61 million without Mo. LMA: 16006000 Nic: 11765500 Wesley: 7245640 Rolo: 6124728 TRob: 3678360 Dame: 3340920 Dorell: 3000000 Freeland: 3013512 CJ: 2421000 Leonard: 2317920 Claver: 1370000 Crabbe: 862000 Barton: 915243
Damn... somehow I missed Leonard on my list. I guess it was wishful thinking. Where did you get your salary info btw?
With Mo opting out we would be at approximately $61.15 M according to http://www.storytellerscontracts.com/. Link to salary cap exceptions: http://www.cbafaq.com/salarycap.htm#Q25
The fact that Batum makes almost 3x more than Dame sucks-ass. But yea, I understand the rookie deal vs not.
I think we could off-load Leonard with a couple players like Crabbe and Claver. Maybe do a lopsided deal to free up even more cap space.
If Mo opts out, we have roughly 2 million in space. Offloading Leanard, Crabbe and Claver all together nets us an additional 4.5 roughly. Still only leaving us with roughly MLE money. And for who?
MLE will be 5.3, dumping all those guys and taking nobody back would leave us at about 6.3. But, then because we dropped 4 guys from the roster, we get hit with roster charges of about 500,000 each to get us to 12, so I think that gives us 5.8 versus 5.3 to use.
And how do we offload Leonard, Crabbe and Claver? They're all guaranteed money next season and I don't see anyone trading cap space for them.
He was replying to my idea. I was the one that suggested it. I think the Spurs wouldn't mind. I think Claver, Leonard and Crabbe would all benefit from being coached by Pops.
I think Crabbe is worth holding onto. I'd like to see what he does in the summer league. I'm not in love with Claver, so if they move him I won't really care much. Leonard has frustrating so I really don't even know at this point.
