I believe so. In 2016 I believe we will be able to sign 2 max players. That fact alone may help us recruit top level talent.
hoopshype has been wrong lately. what would our salary situation be in 2016? Also that's when G. Wallace's contract is up.
What is wrong on hoops hype? That's generally my source of salary info.
Thanks,

There are two main problems with Hoopshype, in my opinion.
The first is that they report the salary a player makes in a year, even if that is not equal to his cap hit. An example this year is Omer Asik, who makes $14,898,938 this year (which is correctly reported on hoopshype), but only $8,374,646 against the cap, which is not mentioned. Accordingly, New Orleans has $6.6 million more in their total, so you might look and think they're in the luxury tax, when in actuality they're a few million below it.
The second is that they do a very inconsistent job in reporting non-guaranteed deals. Sometimes they will call it a team option - other times they just call it guaranteed. If it's partially guaranteed, they make no mention.
A lesser problem is that in the past they've rounded their numbers a bit. For years they reported Rondo's deal as $9, $10, $11, $12, and $13 million flat for each year, when in reality the only time the number was an even million was $11 million in year 3. Such an increase was obviously wrong, as it wasn't allowable by the CBA. They seem to have gotten better with that, but I still judge then a bit on past reputation a bit myself. That aspect has improved since they became affiliated with Gannett. The first two issues I mentioned, however, are still current.
