McCullough is signed. He'll be with us. This is the year for him to show he's an NBA player, otherwise we likely don't pick up his next-year option. He should be very motivated.
Mac's this-year option will be picked up. Actually, I hope they'll work out a cheap 3-year deal w/ Mac. I'm pretty confident he'll earn it & more.
Robinson is enough of a prospect that I'm already in favor of signing him for the year. Last year undrafted rookies made $543K; can't have changed much this year. I'll be surprised if he isn't a Wizard.
Humphries, Keene & Young, each in different ways, have question marks attached to them. But, lets suppose we sign all of them along with Robinson. Those 4 rookies will cost $3m or less. Assuming for a moment that we sign Otto for $20m, we'd be at @ $118m for 16 players. We might be able to sign a veteran minimum player, have 17 guys, & still stay under the luxury tax limit.
Piff your math is a bit off i am afraid.
with all of our contracts and cap hold, (porters and bogz included and websters dead cap)
we sit right now at 98,460,935 ish give your take a bit. let say we sign porter for 20 mill like you say, we don't add 20 million to that number, you only add 6 million to that number, because otto is already slated at a 14 mill cap hold. So puts us at 114 million. if we renounce bogs cap hold that negates that completely. and we drop back down to 98 whith porters new contract. we are not in too much dangers of the tax and we can stay under the tax even if we sign bogz we just have to keep him close to his cap hold of 8 mill or less. adding 4 undrafted rookies at about 50 K a piece might be 2-3 mill so yeah 117 mill but if we remove bogs thats 8 mill gone.
