Ryno's cap hold is only $12 million. Even if he is willing to pay him $20, that will be done after other big deals eat up the free cap space.


Cannot go after both Fournier and SF (maybe can't even go after just Fournier) if we keep Ryno's caphold. So I think Dell's first order of business is to sort out Ryno. Then he will move on to other free agents.

I'm not following. The team has roughly $21 million in cap space without Ryno's cap hold, about $9 with the cap hold in place. Let's say you renounce Ryno's rights and sign Fournier and a SF for $15 million. You now have $6 million in cap space left for Ryno.

If Ryno's cap hold is only $12 million a year, then I would have no problem resigning him. I could care less what he's making.

If there's a way to still sign two lesser paid guys like Bazemore and Crabbe, draft Hield/Dunn and still sign Ryno, that would be just fine with me. I would rather those 3 players than just Batum, who i'm not a big fan of anyway at a max salary, and who isnt' leaving Charlotte either.

I dont' know what that does money wise, but i'm sure we'd be over the cap for sure and maybe the luxury tax.

As far as Tyreke is concerned, if we draft Hield, i'd wouldn't mind keeping Reke, if it's Dunn, then I want Reke outta here asap.
