Post #1 » by **Smitty731** » Thu Apr 24, 2014 2:01 pm

Updated 4/5 with signing of Tim Frazier to a multi year contract.

Current Cap Space: None. $9,040,198.00 over
Maximum Cap Space: None. $9,040,198.00 over (if all options/guarantees were not picked up, all FAs renounced, no draft picks were to be signed this season, and all Exceptions were renounced)
Luxury Tax Space: $4,683,012.00
Tax Apron Space: $8,683,012.00
Hard Capped due to using majority of Non-Taxpayer MLE on Chris Kaman
2015-2016 Maximum Cap Space: $39,226,179.00

How I got there:

Guaranteed Contracts (15): Arron Afflalo, LaMarcus Aldridge, Nicolas Batum, Steve Blake, Allen Crabbe, Tim Frazier, Joel Freeland, Alonzo Gee, Chris Kaman, Meyers Leonard, Damian Lillard, Robin Lopez, Wesley Matthews, C.J. McCollum, Dorell Wright

Partial/Non-Guaranteed Contracts Kept to date (0): None

Carried Money (1): Diante Garrett ($30,000.00)

FA Cap Holds (1): Earl Watson

Draft Pick Holds (0): None

Current Exceptions: MLE Non-Taxpayer Exception at $505,000.00 (Partially used on Chris Kaman). BAE used on Steve Blake. No TPEs.

Yeah. I'll update that when I do a round of updates this week. When I set it up initially, Williams hadn't said anything yet about his option for next year. Good reminder though!

I'd say it's pretty much a guarantee Barton is coming back next year. The way the Blazers FO, coaching staff and teammates talk about Barton, they expect him to have an expanded role with the team next year, so it's safe to pencil him in on the books.

Didn't Earl Watson retire why would he still be a FA cap hold?

A Cap Hold exists until a team renounces that FA or he signs with another team. Several long retired players still are carried as Cap Holds by several teams. The Celtics and Spurs have very lengthy lists. The Lakers did too, until they renounced all kinds of guys this offseason to maximize the Cap Space they had.
