@WojYahooNBA
The NBA's salary cap for the 2012-'13 season will be $58M, and the luxury tax level, $70.3M, the NBA says.

Where we at capologists?

Within a few hundred thousand dollars of the cap, with a further $2.57 million going to Gray with the new room exception.

I thought Fields was making $6 mill a year next year?

Those are estimates for Fields, and minor estimates for Acy

6.3 is supposedly the cap hit per year.

We definitely should keep Jose this year and hold onto our amnesty for next season...

One year. Calderon is expiring, and Kleiza or Amir are amnesty eligible. With a standard increase in the cap we could possibly be able to offer a max contract next year. Not that anyone wants to come here lol :lol:

IDK Maybe Jval is a stud, Ross impresses, and Lowry maintains his level of play and we become an attractive destination. Best we can hope for.

I always forget how BC outbidded himself on Amir Johnson.

Don't sign fields, if he takes it to court, we could say we weren't aware of the salary cap, or something.

Our cap situation is fine. We have a lot of tradable players with decent contracts. Our only really bad one is Jose and he's expiring.

If we can move Andrea we can hold amnesty for Amir.
