The tax level is around $71 million. Without signing guys to MLE contracts would we be able to add any non-minimum contracts this summer?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think we could just go out and sign Gortat or Hawes to an $8 million contract without moving Gordon or another big salary, because it would put us over the $58 million mark.

This season. I've seen projections of the salary cap as high as $62 million, and the luxury tax threshold would likely have a similar rise.

You are correct. Loslobos calculated we'd be at $47 million with Gordon, but I calculated $55 million which wouldn't be enough cap space to sign anyone. It's either move Gordon or be limited to the MLE.
