Technically no. Because then you add back the MLE and the BAE, along with the other cap holds and it would still keep them just slightly over.
But if they renounced everyone (which could make since because the others are minimum guys or they don't have any sort of Bird right on them) and waived Dawson, but kept the Draft pick, they'd have just over $10 million in space.
Not saying the Woj LeBron report is true, but let's assume LeBron gave the Cavaliers two options, he could sign with Miami for the MAX with the Cavs getting nothing in return to play with Wade or he would sign with the Clippers in a Blake Griffin and C.J. Wilcox sign and trade for the MAX to play with Paul. The Clippers cap space after renouncing every one, plus Blake Griffin's salary and C.J. Wilcox's salary would equal LeBron's MAX, right?
I'm not sure. You can run the math easily enough. It sounds like it would get close though.
