With Stuckey, CV and Monroe gone. How much money would we be able to spend on a FA?

With Stuckey, CV and Monroe gone. How much money would we be able to spend on a FA?

It depends on the cap and if we take any salary back for Monroe in a trade, but assuming we just let all of them expire and choose to use the money in FA instead, we will only have 36 million in committed salary this summer.

I believe this years cap was 58 mil and is expected to be around 62-63 mil next year. Either way we would likely have max capspace to spend if we let all 3 expire, estimating anywhere from like 22-27 mil possibly.

In other words, more than enough to where there isn't much to gain by just letting Monroe expire for capspace. For example, we could trade him and Jerebko for Afflalo and have our starting SG in place, and still only have 39 mil in committed salary with max space to spend in the summer on other needs.

With rumors of Kyrie Irving telling people he wants out of Cleveland, would you guys be willing to do a Brandon Jennings/Monroe for Kyrie Irving/Gee deal? We would upgrade at PG, and we'd be able to pair Kyrie with Drummond. Then we could try to swing a deal for Jeremy Lamb by trading Bynum

Irving/Stuckey
KCP/ Lamb
Singler/Gee
Smith/Mitchell
Drummond/Harrellson

Yes, but at this point, I don't think we can pry Lamb away from OKC.

Irving may want out of Cleveland, but he isn't going anywhere for a while.
Cleveland ain't trading him and he's still on his rookie deal.
