In my opinion, cap room only truly matters for the five destination teams (the Lakers, Knicks, Suns, Heat and Magic). Every time those teams create cap space, somebody big will want to sign with them. It's a built-in advantage exclusive to them. For instance, if one of those five franchises has $16 million to burn this summer, if you think there's any chance Elton Brand would extend with the Clips over fleeing town and signing with one of those five teams, you're crazy. Same for Baron Davis.

cap space & draft picks are no way to build a successful NBA franchise.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.
