2014-2015 cap and tax thresholds
No tax - 63.1m-76.8m
150% tax - 76.9m-81.7m
175% tax - 81.8m-86.7m
250% tax - 86.8m-91.8m
325% tax - 91.9-96.8m
So they'd have four guys that put them over the cap, and they'd have to fill 6 roster spots with less than 3.8mill to stay below the tax. Also, I assume they'd want to keep their core together, so that'd mean that they'd most likely pay tax for the next few years. After three years, 150% tax becomes 250%, etc. etc
Morey likes winning, but I'm not sure they'd be willing to pay that kind of tax. With those guys on the roster, it's hard to believe that they could fill that many spots that cheaply and still be competitive, particularly without a starting PG.

Great breakdown. I don't think they match. If they don't, I'm not sure how I feel... I had a foot in the LS bandwagon. Now if we somehow add Marion, Vince, and a backup center in addition to CP/LS we're really going to be dangerous.
Harris/ Felton/ Mekel
Monta/ Vince/ Ledo
Parsons/ Marion/ Crowder
Dirk/ Wright/ Ivan Johnson?
Chandler/ ??? / Bernard James
And if Donnie's really feeling an EoTY performance and replaces Felton with a better backup point.... One can dream
