No. It would reduce space even more by adding a random unneeded player and his salary to the total. Ajinca is not useful.
The ongoing calculations don't included any player just filling a slot. 13 are locked in. Its just figuring out space 14, and maybe 15 (but only have to have 14).
So far, Lawson with a NG minimum salary is 14. You could remove Lawson and add a different player in slot 14. Morris is expected to be added. There's talk of yet a different player who could be 14 or 15.
If you had 15 players, it's real tight against the apron which could be a BIG issue later. Also, their roster size the last years has been to keep 14 and leave 1 open most of the year, for development and issues and emergencies.
