Broussard? Ain't nothing a fact till it happens.
Ya'll love ESPN BS till it's about us like ya'll ignore it.
Let's look at the facts. I am coping and pasting this for the Hawks Basketball forum that some poster wrote so I can't take credit for this.
Al Horford ($12,000,000)
Lou Williams ($5,225,000)
John Jenkins ($1,258,800)
Draft pick
#17 ($1,348,200, value for draft pick explained later)
Draft pick
#18 ($1,280,800)
Tollys caphold ($884,293)
Incomplete roster charge (6x$490,180 = $3,431,260)
+ Mack's 760,000 and Scott's 789k - 980,360(2 players)= 568,512 +3,431,260
= 3,999,277

Mack 3rd year min salary(760k)
Scott 788,872 salary
Incomplete roster charge (4x$490,180 = $1,960,720)
Total salary is 25,651,190
We have two mid 2nd round picks which was 450k last year. That could be our 9th and 10th man and it would save us 100k.
Incomplete roster charge is only valid without a player. If we sign Howard and CP3, they would be our 9th and 10th man with the picks they would be our 11th and 12th man.
With the estimated cap at 58.5, we would have up to 32.8 in cap space.
We do not have a MLE right now since we are under the cap floor but we would have one if we signed both CP3 and Dwight.
It would be smart if Dwight and CP3 took less to play together. For starters, if they want Korver they would have to take 13.5 million(27 million) in their first year a piece. Korver can sign for 4 million and we could still use our MLE.
Most likely, CP3 and Dwight will sign for 15 mil a piece(30 million) which covers most of our cap and allows us to sign the min level players and a MLE player.
While Houston with some trades could offer Dwight the max and CP3's max right now. They really couldn't get both players not can Dallas.
Atlanta at the best will have to ask Dwight and CP3 to take 5 to 3 million dollars less than they can get in LA but give them 3-1 less than they can get elsewhere. Remember, Houston cannot offer Dwight close to what LA can due to the new CBA. Makes us a lot more competitive in this race.
Basically, Atlanta can easily sign D12 and CP3 and the min level players. The issue is Atlanta has to find ways to not sign them and be capped out. They need to get them to take less and buy into team before players, wins before accolades.
