We only have 3 contracts for that season:

Evans - $10.2M
Holiday - $11M
QPon - $3.6M

That's $24,821,733 without Davis. Davis would bring it to $49M if the rumored numbers are true. We will definitely sign or extend people between now and then, so it's hard to say how much space we'll have.

It really depends on how we approach things. If Demps and Monty were fired this offseason, I would be willing to bet our new GM would sign a bunch of 1 year deals this year in order to try and knock it out of the park in 2016.

But with Dell and Monty seemingly needing to do better and better every year to keep their jobs, they are going to constantly try and sign players and not worry about future cap situations.

So we really can't know.

Yeah, it really is hard to project. We have no clue what kind of deal Asik will get. We might sign a multi-year player with the MLE. Might restructure Gordon. Might bring Anderson back or trade him for players signed through that season. Might add a 2016 1st to the books if Dell doesn't throw it in a draft day trade.

Too many possibilities. We will have options though

I'm assuming we'll have a little over 40 mil in space considering the above.

Cole will likely get a contract around what qpon has.

Asik will get 9-10 mil

Ajinca will get resigned to a reasonable deal and DC for cheap.

Whatever MLE guy we get for 5mil+draft pick next year.

That leaves you with 18-20 mil with a roster of:

Jrue/Cole
Tyreke/2016 pick?
Qpon/MLE 2015
AD/Dante
Asik/Ajinca

Whatever we get back from moving ryno/eg could easily change the above so who knows
