Infection why? Feels like you are teeing up 100 fake LoPo trades.

I will start the process though... it's kind of the same cast of characters -

- Niko - though it seems less likely NO would trade him with Boogie gone
- Tobias Harris - Clips realize they suck early and Harris won't stay... take Favs and a first or Crowder/Exum or something like that for Harris
- Otto Porter - Washington realizes they suck early and that Dwightbola virus has infected the team... decide to cut they salary and move Porter.
- Jabari Parker - He accepts QO and gets moved cuz him and Milwaukee hate each other or gets signed to Atlanta or Sacramento and they have buyer's remorse.
- Paul Millsap - Denver realizes it aint working and move him for Favs and expirings to get all the way under the tax plus some minor asset (a first, Bradley)
- Aaron Gordon - Orlando realizes it aint working (there is a theme here) and they like Jonathan Isaac at the 4... trade Gordon for exum, expirings and a first (prolly too much if Exum is healthy, but oh well)
- Spencer Dinwiddie/Malcolm Brogdnon/Tomas Satoransky - why these guys... low cap holds for next year... so we can use our space and then re-sign them later... these guys are only candidates if Exum/Allen ain't cutting it and we want extra juice at the 1 or 2.

We're going to be heading into the deadline with $60M in expiring contracts.

People keep saying that if we re-sign Rubio next season we won't have much cap space left, but if we have $60M in expiring contracts, shouldn't we have enough to sign Rubio and still sign a max player?

Butler. Thompson. That order.

Butler. Thompson. That order.

Who's Thompson? Klay? He's not getting moved at the deadline.

It depends on how much with Exum and what else we do. But if we keep Rubio at his same price the most we could have is 28 million. But that number isn't realistic with draft picks and room for min contracts.

Yes and yes. My bad. Have 2019 free agency firmly in my head.

I guess I just don't understand how all this cap stuff works. So your saying that even though we have 60 million in expiring contracts, we can only spend about 42 million of it? Where did the other 18 million go?​

Ricky has a 22M caphold. We are also over the cap this year so 60M out doesn't equal 60M in space.

That is all amount we are over the cap already or will be. There is a cap that is around 101 million this year but the luxury cap is 124 million. You just have to look at what players make and the cap hold and then compare that to whatever the cap is going to be. Next year it should jump to 109 million.
But we have:
Rudy 24,258,427
Inlges 11,454,546
Exum 11
Crowder 7,815,533
Mitchell 3,635,760
Grayson 2,432,520
Bradley 1,962,360
O'neale 1,618,520
That is about 63.9 million
On top of that we have a bunch of cap holds but assuming we let all of those we can we will have a cap hold for our 1st round pick of about 2 million and then about a 4-5 million cap hold for minimum contracts. So that puts us at ~70 million.

So if we get Rubio for a good deal at 15 million that puts us at 85 million. That leaves us with 24 million. We could in theory clean up a bit more but I dont see how we get to 30 million it would take to get most max players next year without letting Rubio go or getting him for really cheap.
