Roberts appears to be a multi-year deal. Could still be a training camp invite, but I like making it multi-year on the off chance he makes the team.

We have 9 players locked into contracts (KL, DC, CJ, PP, BB, BeBe, Bruno, Wright, Powell).
We also have two draft picks (for this calc I've assumed 20th and 10th overall picks).
We also have several free agents. DD, JV, Ross, Scola, JJ and de Colo. Only 4 spots for them right now.
Cap situation:
Keep all cap holds: 8M over cap
Waive JJ, Scola and Nando: 2.3M cap room
Also waive Ross: 11.2M in cap room
Also waive DD: 25.4M in cap room (enough for a max offer on Durant, for example)
If JV and/or Ross are extended those extensions eat into our cap room if they are bigger than their cap holds (11.7M and 8.9M respectively).
OR: Trade Cory, sign/trade T-Ross, part with Scola, etc. ... and get a Max Power forward?
I am not recommending any particular moves - but we COULD manage cap-space, in various and intriguing ways, to land a "star" (if we still look ready - otherwise - to take that next step)?

Which is not to recommend these moves, but only to suggest that there are all kinds of possibilities to land that put-you-over-the-top "star" (assuming the team still looks ready - otherwise - to take that next step)?

Very tough to trade guys into cap space. But yes it is a possibility. Far more likely though you set up a sign and trade with the other team, rather than find a third party to dump salaries. Teams tend to bend other teams over a barrel when they know they need space.

That is, we can can take on large amounts of salary in consolidation, even going into tax territory, knowing the cap-raises are going to keep us from being a repeater.

We've got Cory/Delon/(Nando) at the PG spot. We've got Ross/Powell/(Cory/Delon) at SG. I like DD/Lowry but I don't see trading either as creating a vacuum.

We have Nando's rights, we can sign him with the Early Bird exception.

I'm sure some would rather see Powell maybe get some run there but Nando could be a decently reliable backup 2-guard.

Anything I'm missing (or completely wrong on) in this attempt at an update?
