Even if we pick up the options of the big 3(Frye, Lee, Nate), and if we let the contracts of Rose and Taylor expire we are at 67 mil.

Throw in the 6 mil for Jefferies that isn't counted and 9 milish for Curry, we are at 82 mil. We can definately be under tha cap with a few right moves. I got some suggestions.

-$24 mil=$58 mil.

If you can package Malik and Q(I love Q, but I don't think Isiah is gonna want this guy here since he was an LB supporter and made his money move (Steph) cower in a corner), that is another 15 mil bringing us down to $43 mil.

I know, I know....but I can dream, can't I?
