    They seem to have way more cap available than that.



    And yes Horford makes a ton of sense for them since they are not high on Cauley-Stein and they are about to let him walk.

    [Sidery] According to @wojespn, who just said it a few minutes ago on ESPN, the Suns have made T.J. Warren and Josh Jackson available in trade talks. Have spoken to multiple teams, and expectation is both are traded between now and the end of the draft on Thursday.

    I don't see any way Horford opts out of 30 mil for a 4 year deal starting at 10mil a year. He would be better off opting in and collecting the 30 mil and then go after a new contract the following season.

    I think our hopes of getting Hood below market just got dashed. Too much money out there and not enough (good) players. Prolly a better idea to punt this summer and try to get in on a trade at the deadline.

    I don’t think the Knicks get a superstar name even with their enormous cap space, and that may be a good thing for them. Fill that roster with good starters like Randle, Vucevic, and get some role players.

    Build with young players like a real franchise. Barrett, Knox, and DSJ is a good starting point. Adding players like Randle and Vucevic is a good idea. Save money too for bench pieces.

    Conley to Utah for Jae Crowder + Grayson Allen + Kyle Korver + 1st rounder according to Shams.

    Conley is a really good fit there.

    That would be so stupid of Barnes. He just turned 27 so he'd be 28 next summer. Why not accept your option make 25 million and then sign that same 4 year deal next summer?

    That list is a little misleading because it's what each team could potentially have if they renounce all/most of their free agents.

    Take Denver for example. They can only get that $16.9 million if they let Millsap go and don't re-sign him. So anyone they sign for that money would have to replace Millsap which likely doesn't help them that much.

    There is going to be at least 20-30 guys who sign this summer that everyone will be like "wow, he signed for that cheap?"

    Welp Conley is now on the Jazz.

    All they had to give up was Crowder, Korver, Allen, #23, and a future 1st.

    Edit: At least this pretty much eliminates the Jazz from cap space this summer.

    Horford is supposedly getting 4/100 from someone...

    Some people think Mavs

    Havent seen them mentioned, but the clippers would make a lot of sense for Horford. If they're sitting on about 50 million in space, getting him and a few other smaller pieces would make a good offseason

    Still doesn't address the lack of shooting for Utah - Conley better than Rubio, sure, but Crowder was probably their best wing.
