Do you think that if we lose Hakeem to Toronto, and sign Mo and SA, will we still have enough cap room to- a. Sign Marc Jackson for 5 million and ??? b. Sign Bullard and Mooch with the early Bird....???? Thanks in advance. ------------------
Rodney, See crispee's and my discussion..... http://bbs.clutchcity.net/ubb/Forum3/HTML/014281.html Again, the answer is..... It depends on the structure and timing of the deals. We have $4.5 mil exception In essence we would have to work out a S&T deal with Toronto through GS to pull this off ------------------ "Mongo don't know! Mongo only pawn in game of life."
Rodney--keep it simple. I mean, we have over and over discussed losing Dream and Signing Webber to $12m, right? Further Jonathan Feigen continues to report that we have $24m in salary locked up in current contract obligations. The salary cap is $42.5m That means we have $18m to spread between Mo, Shandon, and a 3rd Free Agent, and then we use Moochie's Early Bird Rights on him. Now, if we use Early Bird Rights on Shandon, then the $24m number by Feigen needs to include not renouncing Shandon, which is an added $2.8m roughly hitting the cap as an unsigned free agent, making it $26.8m, which puts us down to roughly $15m for signing Mo and another free agent. Further, if we sign-n-trade Hakeem, you will need to add any salaries we get back to the Feigen number as well, to see what is left for Mo and another free agent. bottomline: as long as Shandon signs for his Early Bird Rights, we will have roughly $15m available to spend on Mo, a free agent, and a player back in any Dream sign-n-trade. btw: we will NOT have any exceptions to use for the rest of the year, the moment we sign Mo'. Forget any comments about us having the $4.5m exception to use...we will lose it the moment we sign Mo'.
