2025/26 is when the crunch comes.
Nance will be off the books and I think CJ is traded in his last season if BI, Trey, Naji and Jose are extended with both Dyson and Hawkins still in their rookie contacts.
Agree. However, we cannot assume we will be able to trade CJ to a team with $30 million of cap room. We will have to take back contract value. If we keep both BI and Trey, we will have nearly $120 million invested in those 3 with CJ at $30 million expiring. Something definitely would have to be done before then.

The luxury tax line is estimated to be at $189M in 2026, and i'd bet that's an underestimate b/c the new TV deal isn't known yet and i'd bet this in season tournament buzz that's happening right is going to boost it higher than what was originally thought.
That's almost $25M higher than it is right now, and it will keep climbing steeply with the new deal smoothing it over a few years

Yeah and this is where you offer first round picks to get off contracts.

I don't think in the next 2-3 years the Pel's will need the cost of 1st rounders on their books. Use these for trades and salary dunps and add min players or 2nd rounders.

Yea, I hate it but the deadline on CJ may truly be this offseason.
