Go read the 4 articles from bourbon street shots. breaks it down very well on the possibilities.
If you don't resign Jrue, nor do a S&T to get the exception and still operate over the cap, you're operating under the cap, so no exceptions, and you have to find a way to get rid of Ajinca/Qpon, which might not be that hard, stretch Asik, and let Jrue walk, then they have around $27M in cap space.
What do you do when Hardaway stays with Atlanta, and you have no shot at any other big names, the few that are even available? Spend money for shits and giggles?
Having cap space is a bit risky b/c you don't know if you can get the very few guys worth a shite that are free agents to come here.

This is my biggest problem with letting Jrue walk. We have to overpay in free agency for guys to come here. It seems naive to think that guys are going to want to sign here for reasonable amount.
Personally I wanted to trade Jrue for Rubio at the deadline, but considering in addition to appeasing AD we now have to convince Boogie to re-up with us, I think we should re-sign Jrue and use the 2018 1st and whatever other assets we can muster to shoot the moon and turn Moore into Eric Bledsoe.

Well Hardaway is restricted, so unless he turns down a large offer sheet to play on his rookie deal I don't think he can 'choose' to stay in Atlanta. Unless Atlanta matches, which I admitted puts you back at square 1.
