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.

Cap Hold =/= Cap Number like in football. Your Cap Hold is in most cases 150% of your last salary and is basically a place holder assuming you'll be back. Because of the escalation Ryno's cap hold will be way below his projected market value, so he only takes up $12 million in cap space until you sign him. If you give him 4/$80 he'll be eating $20 million of your cap space as soon as you sign him. I don't want him on the books for $20 million in 2017.
