What happens with our cap space?
We can only sign minimums with two exceptions?
For how much can we resign Oubre?
I believe we start with $67m in open cap space with Embiid + Maxey cap hold + 1st rounder cap hold.
Sign Siakam to MAX of $42m, leaves $26m of open cap left (after adding back $1m empty roster cap hold).
That should be enough to sign two more starters with the rest of the cap room (e.g. Oubre for $10m and another guy for $18m after add back two more open roster holds of $1m each).
Then sign a 6th man with the Room Exception (Hield? Another shooter?).
That gives us 7 guys: Embiid, Maxey, 1st rounder, Siakam, Two more starters, 6th man
Also include Ricky Council who is basically a min so that makes 8 guys.
Then I assume we sign 5 vet mins to complete the roster (hopefully Lowry comes back and Batum if we're lucky).
Last move is MAXing out Maxey after all other moves are completed.
The team would be short on depth to begin with. But once the season starts and newly signed contracts are tradable, we can package players and picks to build depth.
Then the following summer we should have exceptions available to continue building the roster.
Depth is easy to take care off. The important for me is finding the perfect guy for both Maxey and Embiid.
Im open to anyone, including adding Hartenstein or Jalen Smith, but its just I think Siakam is the best fit for now.
Agreed. Nurse connection makes it even sweeter.
