    How close will Milwaukee be if they re-sign Sessions?

    Can you guys explain how you got $7.7? I'm getting a bit confused here.

    They are currently sitting at about 62.5 Million. Assuming Sessions's contracts starts at the MLE (Which it probably will), they are looking at about 68.2 Million for this season.

    I know, I was not attacking you. I just made the statement is all. Some people were thinking before the draft that we might need to.

    $62.5 million, not counting Jennings' contract.

    7.717 million to be exact I think?



    We have right at about 50 million in salaries. The cap is 57.7 million. Math took it from there.

    David Lee lovers. 5 years 44.75 is the number we can give him I think.

    If we renounce the Euro scrubs it's 5 year 54.3 for a S&T

    After the season starts, and up until the deadline we will have 10.378 I think for a lopsided trade.

    If nothing get's done we lose it for all intents and purposes

    The nice thing is that NY will have to go deeper into the lux tax to sign Lee. I say we jack that contract up :ghoti:

    Theyll be at $63m if they cut Bowen and before they sign Sessions. They'll be right at the tax line if they sign him
    and make no other changes. I don't think we can get him.

    So, my lux tax teams list is wrong.

    Yeah i could be off. I did it in my head. Are you factoring in Bowen's $2m guaranteed salary?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Up until next July 1, Portland will have the space. So, in terms of major trade milestones, they have the trade deadline and next year's draft within that time frame.

    Looks like next seasons cap, starting in 2010 could go down by $7 million!
