There's not enough money to do that, the playoffs are also showing that depth matters.
Of course there's enough money for a season or two before JB or Randle need to be extended...
Brunson, Spida, OG, Randle, iHart w/ DDV and Hart off the bench is plenty deep. Possibly the deepest team in the league... not sure what you mean.
How exactly are you going to trade for Donovan, keep Randle, IHart and extend OG? The new cba starts this summer, all the teams that did crazy moves last summer did it because the expectation is that they won't be able to do it this summer.
Not a cap expert, but imagine if OG opts-in and extends, then iHart gets his ~16m starting salary and we shed McBride, Robinson, and Bog's salaries in the deal, along with any minor cost cutting moves (ie letting Precious walk, trading our picks, etc.), we should be able to get under the second apron due to Brunson and Randle being on very reasonable deals. Someone check the math...
Brunson $25m, Randle $30m, Spida $35m, OG $20m (opts into player option), iHart $16m
Hart $18m DDV $11m
~$155m to your core 7.
The rest filled with minimum guys... It's totally doable in theory. Then you could trade Randle the next season for an expiring but at least you give this squad one year to go all the way.
"Based on the cap projection of $141 million, the tax line would be roughly $171.3 million, the first apron would be nearly $178.7 million and the second apron would be around $189.5 million"
