    Per ESPN, projected cap space for next year:

    Lakers $25M

    76ers $37M

    Clippers $29M

    Knicks $26M

    Nets $36M

    Bulls $35M

    Mavs $55M

    Pacers $56M

    I doubt we'll be anyone's first choice in free agency.

    which of those teams need a starting PG? We could be the leader of the pack for a starting PG spot with very lucrative salary.

    Can we talk about how absurd it is that we only had 7 healthy games and went 7-0

    Everyone will blast Weltman for not making sweeping changes but this clearly shows why he, and the rest of the FO, think we can take a step with the same core, as long as we stay healthy. Only 7 games with our top 7 players out of 82 and we go 7-0; that's encouraging. Obviously, we're not going 82-0 but we don't have a true picture of how good or bad we are. As fans, we think we do, because we've seen these players for years and ready to move on from most, but sometimes all it takes a minor tweak here or there, new voice to coach, and some internal growth and things can really change. 

    hopefully, we get a full year of minimal injuries and ball out.

    It will be interesting to see who else will have money in 2019 & 20.

    Money has dried up quickly these past few seasons.

    A lot of teams will have money. 

    NBA projected cap to be $108M next summer. It's why a lot of teams offered 1 year deals this summer, and why most restricted FA will sign their QO to hit the market next year, when there will be more spenders. 

    We just have to hope we're smarter with our spending.

    Nice_1, that part about "not knowing anything about Mozgov" was not intended to suggest that he should be a mentor or he was a steal for the Magic. Whoever I was quoting mentioned Mozgov in the same sentence where the poster said that Vuc could be a mentor for Bamba. I should have left Mozgov's name out of my response to Vuc not being a mentor. Again, I was not suggesting anything about Mozgov's contribution to the team.

     

    Please enlighten me. . .In what way can Vuc mentor Bamba that would help him to develop?

     

    Vuc is a good offensive player. He can show Mo some post moves and what to expect when defending post players. He can help him learn to quickly read defenses and the right play to make out of double teams. 

    Yes, we have coaches for all of that, but sometimes it's easier to understand when coming from another player. If kept, Vuc is a good vet (as long as he doesn't pout) to lean on.

    Oh, please. . .No! I don't know anything about Mozgov, but I don't want Vuc mentoring anyone. What's he going to teach Bamba to do--pout when he can't get playing time or minutes? Oh, I forgot, he's going to teach him how to grab rebounds.

    You don't know anything about Mozgov? Let me help: he's worse than Biz and should be getting 82 DNPs next season.

    So after watching the Summer league game I think I am definitely against signing IT. 

    You know what, I'm not against it, but I've cooled on it.

    If the ball will be in JI and AG's hands more, I'd prefer a PG that can do more off-ball. Someone that can contribute to winning without being ball dominant and still help our guys' development.

    I have no issues with holding out a few days and seeing what else might pop up. 

    yeah, he also says it would be tough to sign a player with different motives than developing the young guys. To no fault of his own, IT looking to prove himself and cash in next summer. 

    I still hope they're waiting on Ball/Laker situation. Ball would be a great piece to grow with our core.
