Message: [QUOTE="Melancer46, post: 2601918, member: 1674"] The part re: combining other players in a sign-and-trade is true. Regarding signing 2 max FAs, they can probably pull it off if they want to; would just require attaching an asset to Deng for example in all likelihood. That would get them down to $60-65 million in cap space depending on what they attach to Deng while still keeping Randle's cap hold. They could also theoretically sign Randle at a rate lower than the cap hold and carve out a little extra room that way. His cap hold is about $12.5 million and given how few teams can offer that much money, it wouldn't surprise me if Randle just signs his qualifying offer and frees up another $7 mil in cap space for them. They could be pretty reasonably end up with over $70 million in cap space if they play their cards right. [/QUOTE]
