This gives us a ton of cap space to use in the summer of 2013 with Bynum, Nelson, BBD, Nicholson, Quinn, 2013 picks on the roster. Maybe even give us enough to bring back JJ as well.

Don't do it, Mr. Devos. Don't do any deal with the Nets. Any other team is fine, preferrably the Hawks. I like Teague and Horford.

Lakers have no draft picks...

Nelson - 6M
Davis - 6M
JRich - 6M
Hedo - 12M (will be waived if not traded so he will only count 6M towards the cap)
Duhon - 4M (will be waived if not traded so he will only count 1.5M towards the cap)
QRich - 3M (will probably take his player out)
Nicholson - 1M
Quinn - 1M
Overall - 28M cap for 2013
So that leaves us 32 million in cap space for 2013 even if we don't rid ourselves of Duhon, JRich and Hedo, which will be easier to do at the trade deadline or before the 2013 draft. If we can do that, we save ourselves around 14 million in cap space, moving that 28 million number down to 14 million, giving us 46 million in cap space. That means we could sign 3 max players if we want and it so happens 2013 is going to be a big year for FAs (Ellis, Iggy, Smith, Howard, Bynum, Paul, etc).
Again knowing this, it baffles my mind why Howard wants to just up and leave. He could be playing with Paul/Iggy or Ellis/Iggy so on and so forth in 2013-2014 if he waits.

RT @ArashMarkazi: Steve Nash on Dwight Howard: He's a special player & a special talent, I can see why the Lakers would want to recruit him.
NASH is recruiting D12, GO steve, help us up the antes
Uggg.. Does it bother anyone else a little that Steve sold out to the Lakers?
Other than the fact that he is closer to his kids; I just felt this totally goes against what he seemed to stand for.
(I put this in the other thread too, but I figured I might get a response faster in this one.)

Thank you for posting this. I was shocked at the negative reaction to the Nelson signing, because the Magic will still have tons of space, plus Nelson is a great trade chip at that salary.

Look up the free agent lists for 2013, 2014, and even 2015. There aren't many great names that would be willing to come here (for example, LeBron, Wade, CP3, Dirk, Kobe). The great young talent in this league is locked up already (Rose, Westbrook, Durant, Love, Aldridge). Draft, Draft, Draft. Eventually, it'll sink in.

that would work short term wise but who do we sign to fill in the depth and bench? sutton, Wayns westbrook would be good on the bench but other than that?
We could use our MLE for a player and sign him to a one year contract. We would suck during that year, but we'd get a high draft pick and some serious cap space.
