Quick math

I think if BI, Trey, Val, Naji and Jose are all extended next season or the next they are looking at around 205-208M for 10 players.

This is assumed Nance and Liddell aren't re-signed.

2025/26 salary

CJ - 30.6M
Ingram - 51.5M*
Zion - 38.8M
Trey - 30M*
Val - 15M*
Herb - 13.9M
Dyson - 7.7M*
Marshall - 7M
Jose - 6M*
Hawkins - 4.7M

*estimates

Not a whole lot of room for another 4-5 players, but I don't thinks its so bleak where decisions need to be made at seasons end.

Let's see if this core is worth paying for.

Honestly, I really wish it wasn't the case, but i dont see Jonas being retained that far out, at least not at that price. IF this core works out and we decide to keep them then i think Griff will go the cheap 5 route since we wont be finishing with any of them.

There's not enough room just those dudes, much less 4-5 more.

Tax line is estimated to be around $189 mil.

Unless you think Gayle will become an owner who will go deep into the tax and likely as a repeater, some guys will have to go.

We simply don't have an owner that will pay 4 played $150 mil, just can't see it happening.
