I don't think KD comes to Toronto anyway but I would really love to have cap space when he's a free agent just to get that chance.There's no such thing as a 2nd round bust.

Demographic Shift wrote: View PostThat pretty much nails it. Once cap space of that magnitude has been built you pretty much have a single opportunity to maiximize it. If Kevin Love or Marcus Aldrdige is not what you really need to move to the next level in 2015 then by all means its smart business to carry forward the cap room to 2016 and make the play for Kevin Durrant.
So given that a sign and trade sending our multiple picks and possibly a prospect or two to OKC is already our best bet, might as well add a top talent or even a good-great player like Millsap as well as adding Durant the next summer.

Meanwhile, DD opts out and goes from a 9.5M cap hit to a 14+M dollar cap hit. You could renounce him but I expect he's a big part of the pitch to Durant. Then JV and Ross go from a total combined salary less than 10M to a combined cap hit of 18+M. So there goes all your cap space. We might have some, but we almost certainly won't have maximum cap room in 2016, so no matter what we do, we'll have to be dealing with OKC in a SnT or looking to dump salary on other teams at the cost of picks.
