This Season's Roster Outlook

[GermanStandard]

Cap 2015/2016 is projected at 67,1 M $ 81 M $ Tax
This Season it was 63 M $ 77 M $ Tax

The huge raise in the Cap kicks in in 2016/2017 but we get a slight raise next season.

So after the Rondo accident and the recent actions this is how the Roster likely looks out:

Under Contract:

Parsons 15,3M $
Dirk 8,3M $
Harris 4M$

Player Option:

Ellis 9M$
Felton 4,5M$
Aminu 1,1M$

Team Option:

Powell 800K

Free Agents:

Tyson Chandler
Barea
Jefferson
Villanueva
Stoudemire
Smith
B. James
Rondo



Well we dont have to worry about signing Rondo to a new Deal...

Felton will definitely take his Player Option cause hes not getting a better deal anywhere else.

Powell i dont know about...Hes cheap they could activate the Option.

Ellis will clearly not take his Option cause he can get more than 9M. Right now i would not give him another contract. Guy choked the last months of the season and looks to be another headcase when some things arent going well.

We have to give Chandler a new Contract. There is simply no better C available in Free Agency that would sign with the Mavs.

I would also give Barea, Jefferson, Villanueva and James Vet contracts and would try to hold Stoudemire but his recent comments indicate that he likely leaves. Villanueva and James would be guys for the Vet Min.

Aminu is a great piece but might be to expensive after that season. He will not take his option.

Tyson gets 14,5M $ which is way too much. I would sign him to a 2 year deal 10M$ per.

Doubt he gets a better contract and he likes it here.


Roster and Contracts may look sth. like this

Parsons 15,3M $
Dirk 8,3M $
Harris 4M$
Felton 4,5M$
Tyson Chandler 10M$
Powell 800K $
Barea 1,5M $
Jefferson 1,5M$
Villanueva 1,5M$

_______________________

47,5 M $ / 67,1 M $

_______________________

Money left to spend

~20M $

_______________________

Now there are several Options.

Ellis will demand atleast 11-12 M a year thats what i expect.

Aminu will atleast get a 4-5M a year Contract.

You can either try to resign Amare with that money or look for a Veteran PG.

If you dont resign Aminu or/and Ellis you can dish out a Max Contract or Close to it.

Of course there are several nice RFA and Player Options but they most likely never leave the Team if the Contract is fine so i left them out here.

So there are Options but honestly who wants to go to declining Team with an old Franchise Player?

My Question to you. What would you do?

Resign all our guys except Rondo and try again?

Or let Ellis (Aminu) move and get somebody else like Matthews, Green, Williams etc. + some new Role Players?
