Those two alone would put them over the cap, however, they're no better than the team that keeps getting wrecked by the Warriors. If they let Capela/Paul go, I don't see them competing. If they re-sign guys, they're only as good as they were this past season.
At least Harden is getting his 31mill

Can't they go over the cap to keep both? What are their cap holds?
EDIT: Never mind, looked it up -- Capela is only $7m, but Paul is a whopping $35m... I wonder if Cuban offers Capela max just to F with Morey and force Houston into the luxury tax early? At worst we land a max player who appears to be worth his salt.
