Some, but not a lot. They have 108 mil commited in 12 players with contract in the summer of 2020. Add first rounder salary and any additional second rounders we might sign. Projected cap is at 116 mil.
Makes more sense to stay over the cap and get the full MLE.
In that event, it's hard to excuse any failure to acquire more rotation players for the TPE and/or Lee (I know they can't be combined; I'm speaking of using either or both in separate trades) plus sweeteners, ***especially*** if the target players expire in 2021.
