How would you grade our off-season?

[Lelicans]

You're confused on a lot of stuff it appears. You've got a lot to of terms all mixed it.

This should help explain things more clearly to you.

So is it more correct to illustrate it like this:

Soft Cap Ceiling (100%)
|
|
Cap Floor (90%)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bottom (0%)

??

This seems right as we would be above the floor like you've been saying. Building from the ground up makes sense also.

But it still makes no sense that the floor and the bottom are 2 different things and the floor is so damn close to the ceiling :////////

[Mythrol]

Yes that is a way you could look at it.

To make it more clear, the floor *is* the bottom. Teams are required to pay 90% of the cap. If they don't sign contracts to put them over the floor the split the amount left over among their players. An easier way to view it would be:

Hard Cap
|
|
Soft Cap
|
|
Floor (90%)

CBS Sports rates our bench top 10 in the league.

PROJECTED BENCH: Langston Galloway, E'twaun Moore, Quincy Pondexter, Dante Cunningham, Alexis Ajinca, Terrence Jones, Buddy Hield

The Pelicans, somewhat surprisingly, have a pretty solid bench. New Orleans went out and added quality players in Langston Galloway and E'twaun Moore, two versatile guards who can also provide some toughness. Dante Cunningham and Alexis Ajinca are fine rotational bigs to have. Terrence Jones was a nice pickup on the cheap and if he can play like he did earlier in his career with the Rockets, then the Pelicans will have even more depth. Even rookie Buddy Hield should be able to contribute, especially if his shooting translates to the NBA. However, the main key for New Orleans is the return of Quincy Pondexter, who missed all of last season due to injury. If he can quickly return to form, the Pelicans should have some quality depth this season.
