Where do you get 37 million in cap space? Looking on Spotrac, we only have 55 million committed to 9 players with the cap being at 109. That's 54 million to start withIf we were to say give Lin 12 million put 10 mil towards the draft and renounce everyone else, we'd be at around 32 million with at least 12 players signed (Young, Huerter, Bazemore, Bembry, Prince, Collins, Spellman, Len, Plumlee, Lin as well as the two firsts). So with no roster charges, by my count that's 32 million to spend after resigning Len and our draft picks, we could spend that easily on a center and have some left over for one more free agent.

Your right, sportrac says we have a lot more than that.

I agree with you. We need to resign Lin.
9 roster spots + Lin =10 players
two 1st rounders = 12 players
Signing 1-3 of our 2nds = 13-15 players.
We clearly need to sign a key center FA. There isn't any NBA ready center in this year's draft. We need a FA.
