Anything less will be certainly matched by Orlando. In order to get to the max space we have to give up JRich, THJ and all other non guaranteed contracts. And we still risk Orlando matches the offer.
Yeah I'm not really interested in playing the waiting game in FA hoping ORL doesn't match, and even then question if it's even worth it to get a guy like Isaac at that price. Gordon would be my play, but I don't think there are any realistic routes to get him.

Pretty sure you need cap-space actually available in order to submit an offer sheet. That sheet is what starts the 2-day countdown for the team that has the RFA to decide whether or not to match. I don't think you can submit that sheet without having actually signed the dude, and if you can't sign the offer sheet, then the 2-day countdown never starts.
But I could be wrong. Wish DLord was here to clear that up.
