San Antonio can absorb Nurk and Ant into capspace for nothing. If I'm doing my math correctly, signing Jerami to a 5/150 allows us to start him at 25.6. Let's assume we sign Matisse at around 6.5 the first year. If we dump Nurk and Ant for nothing (maybe add Keon as well), this lets us offer Draymond a starting salary of around 22.3M, and the total contract will be around 4/112. We can probably get up to 30M AAV if we need.
Not saying this is the path, but it's technically possible?
@wizenheimer And other cap experts, I added the 9.7 from Scoot and 2.8 of Kris Murray, but I don't remember if we can wait to sign them, just incur the incomplete roster charge (which is like ~$1m each?) instead of their actual salaries. This would give us a lot more wiggle room since Scoot is almost 10M and Kris is 3M.
Or maybe we can find a way to dump Nassir Little for nothing. That could work as well.
Order of operations is critical here:
1.) Sign Jerami and Matisse - their actual starting salaries much lower than their cap holds.
2.) Sign Draymond.
3.) Sign rookies.
EDIT: NVM 1st round picks have a cap hold. Scoot and Kris have a cap hold, but Rupert does not. This means we need to dump Nassir or Keon as well unless Draymond is willing to take less.
