WAY too early Cap Space look for 2016-2017

[Smitty731]

This post comes out of a request in the Projected Cap Space thread. Obviously, this will all change pending what moves are made between now and the end of 2015-2016. But it gives a picture of who could "defer" big moves this year and have big flexibility next summer.

Cap Space is where they stand with all Guaranteed contracts plus any Cap Holds (minus Draft Pick Holds. Too hard to project). Max Space is removing everything except for Guaranteed contracts. Cap projection is $89 million. Everything is rounded off to the nearest million.

Atlanta - Cap Space - $32 million. Max Space - $67 million.

Boston - Cap Space - over $2 million. Max Space - $69 million.

Brooklyn - Cap Space - $8 million. Max Space - $79 million.

Charlotte - Cap Space - over $17 million. Max Space - $65 million.

Chicago - Cap Space - $11 million. Max Space - $41 million.

Dallas - Cap Space - $47 million. Max Space - $70 million.

After most moves are made this summer, I can update this again with a better picture if there is interest.

Of all teams, they could come closest to actually being around those numbers too!

Numbers don't seem real. You almost wonder if even borderline guys like Green and Jackson want a long term max under the current limits.
