This is based on speculation that the salary cap will remain the same as this years because of CV19. If you assume the pre-CV19 cap of $115 million then we'll be at ~$48 million. We have 8 contracts fully guaranteed totaling $56 million (Capela, Dedmon, Hunter, Young, Reddish, Collins, Huerter, and Fernando). Brandon Goodwin, if he is still on the roster Aug. 1,brings the total up to $57 million. Assume ~$6 million for our 1st round draft pick (will vary depending on draft position) and 2 empty roster charges brings our total to ~ $67 million. So depending on the final salary cap numbers, in the range of $109 - $115 our capspace can range anywhere from $42 - $48 million. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are still awaiting the final cap from COVID implications. Everything I have seen/read indicates it will drop from the $115 to at least this year's level of $109. The 2 empty roster spots is a total of ~$1.5 million so that's not the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's like under 1 mil and it can be any salary. I hate when they do that. When you calculate cap space, you have to include roster charges for unfilled spots. Quote A cap hold called an "incomplete roster charge" if the team has fewer than 12 players (players under contract, free agents included in team salary, players given offer sheets, and first round draft picks)5. This charge is equal to the rookie minimum salary for each player fewer than 12. For example, if there are 11 players included in team salary, then an amount equal to the rookie minimum salary is added to the team salary6; if the roster is completely empty, then 12 times the rookie minimum salary is added to the team salary. This charge only applies during the offseason. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay so the easy math. When you subtract Goodwin you're also adding back a cap charge. Because Goodwin was a non-guaranteed charge, its a bit wonky but basically dropping Goodwin grants back less than you're allocating. So counting only Capela, Dedmon, Hunter, Young, Reddish, Collins, Huerter, Goodwin, Fernando (9 players), you're at: $56,199,336 Start there. Now add in the 3 cap charges.

thecampster Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 Now add in the 3 cap charges. $963.005 each. ($59,088,351) Assuming a Cap next year of 117,000,000, that's $57,911,649. But that number includes (see below) However, the Hawks are currently slotted to have the 4th pick @ $7,577,520. Leaving you $50,334,129 in cap space. All of this assumes a $117M cap and that I haven't forgotten or missed anything. There might be a player I've forgotten or they might be counting the 2nd round pick we traded away but "technically" doesn't convey until draft night. They also might be going with this year's cap figure of $115 because they're expecting a revenue reduction now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecampster Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 Also I haven't seen it anywhere (should look up a hawksfanatic article) but there might be some cap rollover from this year's buyouts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecampster Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) Okay so now for my annual cap "stipulation". The cap charges are imaginary and only used in signing players to max contracts and or going over the max. Technically since all teams end up with more than 13 by training cap, they really don't matter. So if we're going with a $109 million cap. but add back in the cap holds, we have roughly $45 million to spend. and I truly hope that confuses someone beyond repair. No counting cap holds, count us as getting the 4th pick and we have $45,223,144 give or take a minor cap adjustment.
