Do we have cap room left and who do we target?

Wondering how much cap room we have available after losing Boogie and if so, who would you target?
Would have loved to get Tyreke back, but thinking Luc Mbah Mboute and/or Rodney Hood should be our main focus, with James Ennis, Wayne Ellington and others being our fallback.
But, with all this nonsense going on, why not see what it would take to get Jabari Parker if Dell thinks he can play the 3? Would be a coup for the Pels and I would be ok with losing Boogie...
Thoughts?

Miller brings more to the table than Parker right now in my opinion. I think he has a sneaky good year next season.

So, let me preface this by saying my brain is FRIED after today, and I don't have my cap sheet in front of me so things might be wrong. But...
Pelicans are operating as an over the cap team, but non tax team. Giving them access to two main exceptions to use (on new players) since they don't have cap space. The non tax payer MLE, and the bi annual exception.
The entirety of the non tax MLE was used for Randle. Basically the only way to sign him to that deal.
That leaves the BAE which would mean Elfrid Payton is signed using part of that since he isn't on a vet exception. That's basically entirely used up now.
So what's left is vet minimum exceptions to sign others. So...not a whole lot.
Again, my brain is KO'd after today so it might be wrong (I don't think so?) and others are better at this than I am.
Also, you all now have to listen to today's podcast since I gave you this bit for free (after it was nicely requested). I do talk about Randle and his contract issues next season.
