Which would allow us to sign two max players if they were willing to take slight pay cuts, but we couldnt sign Josh.

You can go ahead and eliminate that non-guaranteed contract with Stephenson and call it $37M under the cap.

But I rounded on salaries...it's a bit less...closer to 36 I believe.

Yes and no. We would have to renounce all of our other free agents first. Meaning...renounce Josh, renounce Morrow. Which are 2 of the reasons we would think Howard might choose Atlanta. So Horford, CP3, Howard, Lou Williams, Jenkins, Teague. That would be assuming Howard would sign if you send Josh and Morrow packing.

No we aren't. Horford - 12 million Williams - 5 million Jenkins - 1 million Teague is on his option - 3 million. Stephenson (not guaranteed) 2.5 million not nitpicking but we have about 23.5 million committed next year....just count Teague's he isn't going anywhere unless it's part of a trade. So we are 34.5 under the cap...not 48 million.

I forgot about Lou. Teague has a "Qualifying Offer", he can be renounced. So we have 18.3 committed. The cap will be about 60 mil. So we are closer to 42 mil. under next offseason.
