IF Dell plays his cards right, we could have enough cap space to offer a max contract to someone next year, when the likes of Kyrie, Klay, Kawhi are coming out.
To do this we would need to renounce Ajinca (a give in), and move Hill and Moore without taking any 2019-20 salary back.
We currently have 77.5 million on the books for next year, dropping Moore and Hill would bring that down to 57.5 million. Including incomplete roster cap holds, we would be around 67 million allocated, assuming Randle opts out.
That would give us approximately 41 million in cap room where we could chase a Kawhi type player, or we could split it up and grab a Kemba Walker and Tobias Harris type.
Once we have used all our space, we could then re-sign Mirotic using non-bird rights (he wont have a cap hold), which would allow us to pay him around 14 million.
So, as much as it stings losing Boogie and Rondo this year, in the long term it may be a blessing in disguise, and we could possibly keep our 1st round pick this year.
Again, that's if Dell plays it smart
