New CBA Sellers & Buyers

[SweetD]

Denver Nuggets (Buyers)
Current Cap: $42 Million
Main Salaries: Gallinari (9,10,10,11,12m) Affalo (4yrs 7m), Harrington (6,7,7),
Possible Returning Free Agents: McGee
Opinion: Nuggets made the best move last season by shipping off Melo and getting players and picks. This team will still have the flexiblity to make some moves and take on salary to make them better. McGee might take a good amout of that up but they still have some moveable pieces.

Utah Jazz (Sellers/Neither)
Current Cap: $50 Million
Main Salaries: Jefferson (15m), Harris (8m), Milsap (7m), Favors (4m.,6m)
Possible Returning Free Agents: Miles
Opinion: Utah could be sellers just to allow Favors to get some more playing time. They are also a team that needs to get younger and add some pieces to build around Favors. With some expiring contracts they could change thier team quickly. Or keep the cap space for next year.

Indiana Pacers (Neither)
Current Cap: $34 Million
Main Salaries: Granger (13,14), West (10)
Possible Returning Free Agents: Hibbert, Hill
Opinion: Pacers are at team right on the edge. They will overpay a little and keep Hibbert. Hill might need to find new employment will the depth at PG Indiana has. Pacers are going to need future cap space for George who will get a nice pay raise.

Kind of seemed in the playoffs like they were going to Hill over Collison? DC was back from injury but still backing Hill up.

I think healthy DC is better he actually had a higher APG in the playoffs in just over half the minutes, but it seemed like they liked Hill, seemed to prefer his defense because Collison is so small.

Minnesota Timberwolves (Neither)
Current Cap: $47 Million
Main Salaries: Love (13,14,15,16),
Possible Returning Free Agents: Beasley, Randolph
Opinion: Timberwolves have a team filled with rookie contracts and with Beasley on the open market, their cap space maybe used to resign him. But what will they do with some of their other projects like Randolph and Williams down the road. Let's see what type of PG they draft this year.

Sacarmento Kings (Neither)
Current Cap: $40 Million
Main Salaries: Thorton (7,8,8), Hayes (3yrs 5m)
Possible Returning Free Agents: Thompson
Opinion: Kings will be in a good position to draft a player this year and will add to their young group. With Evens able to get a payraise expect them to spend any cap space on him to stay at the min this year.

Toronto Raptors (Sellers)
Current Cap: $41 Million
Main Salaries: Calderon (10m), Bargani(10,11,12), Johnson (6,6,7) Klieza (4,4)
Possible Returning Free Agents: Bayless, Gray
Opinion: Toronto would love to move Calderon or Bargani but doesn't look promising. With the 8th pick they can get a player to build around and possible overpay to get some free agents next season.
