A quick list of which NBA teams still have Cap space

Here is my cap room analysis based on my offseason list – with some updates and assumptions (Psycho T to Toronto, Will Bynum to Detroit, MWP being amnestied, Turkoglu being bought out):

By my math that’s about $140-150 Million to be spent on about 65 roster spots.

Do you know if those non-guaranteed #s remain accurate and up-to-date? For example, you list Brooklyn as having $15.33M non-guaranteed, referring to Paul Pierce’s contract. But Pierce became guaranteed in full on June 30 (when Boston didn’t cut him). I don’t see how you get Orlando having $14.82M non-guaranteed – while Turk’s and Al Harrington’s contracts don’t become guaranteed til January the Magic would only save $9.7M this year by releasing them (half of each contract).

Any chance AK47 joins for the mini-mid level exception now that no one is stepping up and offering him much? I always figured that Prok could find a way back in Russia for that to work out for AK47. We need that last piece to put the Nets into the nine figure territory (before the largest luxury tax hit in the history of the league)

I’m a big WP fan but I’ve never seen WP team projections looking so wonky before. The Raptors win 46.2? The Dubs only 38.5? The Nuggets win 48.6?

[...] which means they will likely want to wait until they are done with all their other deals. This is the list of teams that still have cap room. Orlando and Philadelphia could be options, since they need to fill out their roster and are [...]

Stanley Tweedle,

Keep in mind that these are very early projections. Also keep in mind that predicting minutes — which are affected by injuries, trades, and coaching decisions — is the hardest and most variable part of these educated guesses. As we get closer to the start of the season these will be more accurate, but until someone finds out how to do a better job of predicting minutes, there will still be “misses”.

Knowing the team and coach are the keys. Injuries stand outside. My first run for GSW tallies 51.6 wins, on reasonable assumptions. Last year went 44.5, but then there was Bogut, and still. . .

Yeah… I”m not sure how bad the Warriors must be at assigning minutes to make them project worse than the Lakers.

While their early performance last season definitely looks a bit flukey (top 10 defense?), one of Thompson/Barnes should improve, and they added Iggy. How big a hit do you think Landry was?

Fair enough, Devin. I look forward to the final pre-season projections.
