Not sure what 37.3M number you are talking about.

If Marks has 33.5 (J Rich and WCS options declined, don't retain Bird rights holds on THJ, J Rich, WCS, Redick, Melli, Boban), I've probably misadded somehow because the numbers I've seen leaves about 34.38M in cap room. But no biggie, 33.5 vs 34.3 is not enough difference to change the possibilities.

Using the vast majority of that for a serious pursuit of a higher salary like Collins using cap room would almost certainly require moving Powell's salary to have room for other needed talent too (bumping them up to 44.5M to start), but it seems far-fetched to think they'd find a taker with no salary coming back. So a splashy move, if contemplated, likely envisions working over the cap and using the sign-and-trade mechanism rather than freeing cap room.

The $37.3mm is Kamm's number in the spreadsheet on page one of this thread.  But, Kamm doesn't include cap holds.

I'm curious, what dollar amount are you using for the minimum holds for the slots on top of the nine returning players (KP, Powell, Luka, Maxi, DFS, Burke, Green, Brunson and Terry) and how many of those are you using?  I'm at $33.5, but I'm not positive (after our recent conversation) that I have the right number of holds.  I'm using $916,276 and I have four of them on top of the nine players.

One other place of possible confusion is Maxi's pay.  Spotrac has $8.65mm plus $175k in likely bonuses or $8.825mm.  Kamm is carrying him at $8.75mm.  He actually has a shot at triggering another $150k for keeping his 3% above 40%.
