http://data.shamsports.com/content/page ... ippers.jspInteresting (slightly concerning) cap situation coming up this off season, we actually have more in cap holds (inc CP3) than we do in salary.
Also, assuming we pay CP3 the max ($18.7m), we will be in luxury tax even if we renounce Odom and Billups and their $19.9m cap hold.

It's going to be interesting. My estimates have us around $67M (varies depending on the salary cap) with CP3 re-signed to a max deal and Blake receiving the D-Rose max. That's with only 9 players under contract.
Willie Green and Thompkins are unguaranteed. Hill is supposedly looking to retire. We're at ~$63.7M (CP, BG, DJ, CB, EB, JC & 1st) if those 3 players come off of the books.
If we have 2 max players, then we're going to end up over the luxury tax threshold sooner rather than later. We haven't been over the threshold before, so it helps that we won't be subject to the repeat offender rule any time soon.
Sacks is going to have to be really smart about any salary that is added. We made some good cheap pick-ups this season and we'll need to do that again. We'll need Odom and Billups to take sizable pay cuts if they're going to re-sign.

I'm hoping Billups will retire and stick around as an assistant, as his expected role and salary at the moment outweigh production (obviously injuries don't help) while hindering minutes of Bledsoe.
Would be nice if Paul took $15m but don't see that happening.
