The following few teams are projected to be significantly under the cap, with pending decisions on options, non-guaranteed salaries, cap holds and potential trades that could tweak the numbers or even add/remove teams from the list:
Detroit Pistons: $68 million
Philadelphia 76ers: $62 million
Orlando Magic: $53 million
Utah Jazz: $36 million
Oklahoma City Thunder: $33 million
Charlotte Hornets: $33 million
Toronto Raptors: $30 million
San Antonio Spurs: $19 million
D.Russell walking into ORL’s cap space would suck for us..
Yes, they have no need to do a sign and trade for Issac, either. Dude finally started playing, they’ll have built in advantages to keep him after his deal ends (if they want) and can trade him at the deadline if that feels smart.
I never understand all these trade scenarios that wholly ignore the other team’s needs and/or perspective. We’ll see though. Honestly just hoping we draft smart and make intelligent moves in free agency.
