With about 45.5 mil commited for 2011 summer...we dont have much flexability even if the cap reamins the same as last summer....
Walsh has to decide whether he wants to bring back Billups and/or walker.. both team options...
if walsh decides to keep both.. which i think he should.. we are looking at a 60.5 mil team salary
GOAL.... preserve cap space for 2012
if cap number holds..we will be over.. which make us able to sign a player to a mid level contract starting at around 5 mil.. then fill out the rest of the roster with 1 year vet mins
if we chose to do that.. there arent many player that can help us that will take a 1 year deal for 5-6 mil.....
if we go beyond one year for a player.. we will limit our flexability going forward..
If we can trade Turiaf in the summer..we can free up another 4.5 mil... i thought our best oppurtunity was to the Magic before the trade deadline
unless CP# or DWill or Superman is willing to take about a 12 mil starting salary in 2012.. dont expect us to make any big splashes in Free Agency 2011...
CONCLUSION...
dont expect us to make a run for a title until the 2012 sesaon starts..
hopefully the new CBA will be help us out...we need to lower our expectations a bit.
