Salary cap is 141 this yr
Luxury tax is 172
They already said tho that we'll be operating above the cap this year, meaning they will pick up Browns option & look to trade him, + use the MLE. After that we'll resign quickly and still be under the tax.
With Boucher + McDaniels expiring which will tack onto Barnes salary for his extension next summer
$93M - Committed cap
$11M - Rookie capholds (changes depending on pick slot)
Let's say IQ's extension starts at $30M and they pick up Brown's option, that brings the total to $157M for 12 players. I don't want GTJ to walk for nothing, but you cannot overpay a player of his caliber - especially not when that comes with luxury tax consequences which limit trade flexibility. Ideally they'd get slightly lower on the IQ deal to get a bit more breathing room, but I think they will hold the line on GTJ at somewhere slightly above MLE. If they can't get IQ lower, I fully expect them to let GTJ walk and then try to split up the MLE on a few guys.
This include the rookie contracts?
Yes, those are the rookie capholds - obviously it would be less if the pick conveyed and more if it turned out to be #1.
