really nice fit next to lebron. he was the backup option to PG. now how much will they give up to get kawhi? also, making a max offer to clint will lock up their cap space until the moratorium ends, plus 48 hours for the rockets to match. i doubt they do that. the rockets would have control of their cap during a crucial time! i think they go for kawhi, cousins, then decide between making an offer to clint or saving the space for next season.
Not with Lebrons salary on the books. Looks like if the renounce everyone else including their non guaranteed, then they could have $14.5m in cap space. To do much else they would need to get rid of Dend's contract.
