re: Salary Cap Guru question

A lot really depends on what we do this year. With our current commitments, AD/Jrue/Reke/QPon we'd have $35 million in cap space on a $89 million cap. Keep Asik for $11 and that goes down to $24. Cole for $3 down to $21. Replace/keep Gordon for $10, and you have $11 left. Keep Anderson for $8.5 and you are $2.5 under the cap. Add an MLE guy this year and...well you see how quickly the cap space disappears.

Sign Asik to a 1 year deal this year and you can turn Asik and Anderson's cap space into something like Batum/Deng + Pachulia/$5ish million center. Still not your 2nd star but probably a more balanced use of cap space.
