Seems like there is some cap space for next year if you do not re-sign and deny player option on WCS. I am not saying there are any free agents worth that salary but some combination of FAs might fit under what is available.

I'd keep WCS for certain at $4.1m. I like his activity when he's conditioned and engaged. As fond as I am of Boban, I'd let him go, not because I don't think he has value but because RC will rarely play him. He's a waste of a roster spot and money while RC is the coach.
Powell, THJ, and Richardson are my top 3 to cut loose. I would seriously consider trading Brunson. He's young and has some talent and there should be a market for him, but he's a defensive liability, and I'd prefer we get more athletic and defensive and see if we can get somebody who is either a better volume 3 shooter or a better passer who is not such a defensive liability. A solid, veteran point guard with a year or 2 of tread left on the tires would be perfect. I have no idea if that's a realistic option though.
