Asik goes away b/c of health, and we just created an extra $20M in cap space for next year. Get rid of Ajinca and we've got $25M.

This is not correct. If you zero out Moore/Asik/Ajinca you have $1 million in cap space but would be about $23 million away from the tax line. The problem is you'd only have the $8.4 million MLE and the $3.3 million BAE, or $12 million worth of exceptions to fill that $23 million in tax space.

Those numbers are with Cousins making $30 million, but even figuring in his caphold of $27 million instead still doesn't give you any usable cap space. Just more tax space that you don't have enough exceptions to fill.
