edit: the below tweet is from April... the last cap projection I could find
Sources: The NBA has delivered teams a new salary cap projection for the 2017-18 season: $101M. The cap is $94.1M this season.

"The pelican is fearsome. Take a raven, for example: it's omnivorous. It eats bugs, and seeds, and fruit, and carrion. Compared to the well-rounded citizen that is the raven, the pelican is the serial killer of birds." - Barry Petchesky, Deadspin
It was supposed to be what, $108m?
NVM, it was expected to be $121.

That's one heck of a drop. I guess that's one way to prevent stars from changing teams.

That explains things.
Not so much a big trade in the works. But literally less money.
How is that even figured anyway?

This does make that 2 million from Frazier a bit more important https://t.co/6n7hnomNFE

After trading Frazier & the cap reduction to $99 million, the Pelicans now have $13.8M in cap space assuming no cap holds & no other moves.
— Mason Ginsberg (@MasonGinsberg) June 22, 2017
AD: $23.8
— Mason Ginsberg (@MasonGinsberg) June 22, 2017
Boogie: $18.1
Hill: $11.7
Asik: $10.6
Moore: $8.4
Ajinca: $5.0
QPon: $3.9
Diallo: $1.3
3 Mins: $2.4
Total: $85.2M
Cap: $99M
NBA teams just found out they're getting $3 million less in salary cap space. Cap expected to come at $99M, down from $102M projection

Wanna know why the cap went down? Here's a big part of it:https://t.co/TtJ2pKKPyA

edit: so LeBron & Steph better start throwing a game or 2 in those early round blowouts to make life better for everyone else in the Association

And this is where everyone starts to get pissy about super teams
its actually refreshing to know that the league actually has a financial incentive to try to level out the imbalance somewhat
or playoff refereeing could get worse
At the time they signed, Asik I was hoping that it would not be too much. Now it looks like it is. Unless of course he becomes a great backup Center.
You know. If we just pretend Asik's contract isn't there I don't really feel bad about any of our contracts.
Hill is a slight overpay but when you look at other wings around the league, especially ones that signed last year, I'd rather have Hill than any other SF who signed for their deal last year (outside of KD of course).
Man if we could go into this off season with 75m instead of 85m on the books that'd have been nice.
We resigned Asik "because we had to".
We are going to throw the kitchen sink at Jrue "because we have to."
Anyone know if he is stretched this season how much extra they save?
^^^
I know this doesn't directly answer your question but...
Realistic max room for the Pels is likely in the neighborhood of $27M. Assumes no cap holds (so no Jrue), no Ajinca/QPon, & Asik stretched.
— Mason Ginsberg (@MasonGinsberg) June 22, 2017
We resigned him because he was coming off arguably his best (or one of his best) season ever statistically and AD had already made it clear he refuses to play center.
it makes no sense. it is couple hundreds of grants of difference
we have almost eaten one year of his salary. celebrate it.
why does it feel like the cap is harder on us than most teams?
We need to figure out a way to get rid of Asik. Philly has plenty if room.

Well that really sucks.
Because our GM is subpar.

The problem was we were not competing against anyone. No one was pursuing Asik. We could have signed him for much less. Dumb Demps.
You have no proof of that. We don't know if other teams offered Asik, what those offers were, nothing of his free agency. All we know is Dell and Asik agreed to terms.
