    Sure, about 40 mil.

    20 for Monroe, 8 for Aminu, and about 12 mil left. Who would fit that, and would he be a true difference maker?

    Monroe's max is 20? I thought it was lower as he is a 6 year player and under. I not sure I want that guy for 20. I know it is splitting hairs but 16.5 ok. 20? Oh man....

    And I know Aminu just had a nice year but he isn't getting 8. 6 I could see but not 8.

    if you say 16 (max) for Monroe, and MLE-ish for Aminu, you could sign a 7-9 yr vet max

    Actually I don't think so. If we lose all the players you suggested, then we would have 43 mil in space. Monroe's max is actually 15.9 mil, 8 for Amniu, leaving almost 20 mil

    About 17, and 8 for Aminu, so we'd have about 15 left for either a trade or FA.

    Gay? Would Sac give us a pick to take on his contract?

    Dame/Henderson/Gay/Monroe/Plums

    with CJ/Aminu/Vonleh/Leonard off the bench.

    So about 45 wins?

    Would you be happy if it was Danny Green?
    Monroe
    Aminu
    Green

    The starting lineup would be

    Dame/CJ
    Green/Henderson
    Aminu/Crabbe
    Leonard/Vonleh
    Monroe/Plumlee

    Is that a playoff team?

    No Monroe is a 15.9 mil max player. That is absolutely the most he can get

    Is that average or is that first year salary and it can go up from there?

    All I know is everything I read said that 6 year players can only take up to 15.9 mil on this year's cap. I don't know how that works out

    Guys, 15-20 for Monroe, it definitely is splitting hairs in my mind. The problem here isn't capspace, it's finding a guy who would actually fit here either as a FA or in a trade.

    Green is another mediocre player unless he's put in the right situation. He's more of a "final piece."

    I agree about green. Let's say we keep Aldridge, and possibly get Hibbert. Green would be the perfect final piece in our system because he would defend the perimeter, while Hibbert controls the paint. Aldridge would just be the designated one on one guy.

    Interesting...

    Dame
    Green
    Aminu
    LA
    Hibbert

    That's actually a pretty good defensive team. I think that team could compete in the west.

    That actually works cap wise if Green accepts a contract of 10 mil and aminu accepts 6
