say KG decides to retire after this year. KG would be 12.4 mil off the books, you can then cut PP and only have 4 mil count against the cap.
so that would bring the team salary down from 70 mil to around 46 or 47 mil for next season.
The salary cap for this season is 58 mil , so we would have about 10 -12 mil to spend.
If Danny can trade Bass and/or terry for expiring contracts , we could actually have enough money to offer a max contract next season.
