Players we could sign and will likely cost more than the minimum:
Wade: ???
Haslem: ???
Birdman: ???
Chalmers: ???

Total: ???
Roster cap hold: $4.5m (the league automatically adds what the remaining players would cost you if they were all signed for the minimum)
Total salary so far: ~$45.5m
Which means we now have a total of ~$17.5m of cap space. (But for every player we sign $0.5m goes off the roster cap hold and is added to the cap space, so if we sign Wade for $12m we will have $6m remaining of the cap space not $5.5m)

Yep, that's about how I see it as well.
This might jot be popular, but I think we should be going after Turner for Wade's back-up. He'll get the chance to start for probably 10-20 games. After the PO he'll need to take a "prove it" contract.
I love the idea of Rush, but I'm worried about having a rookie who's more of a 3, & someone coming off an ACL (Rush) backing up Wade.
