    Some of those totals are significantly off.

    For one, the Magic are near $51m in committed payroll for next season, not $42m.

    The Rockets had $49m in committed salary last season; losing Willis and Walt brings that down to the reported $41m figure, but that doesn't include Yao Ming, nor does it factor in salary increases over the next year.

    Even with Reeves, I don't believe Memphis is that high in the rankings. They only had $51m in committed salary last season, and even factoring in the players they added as part of their midcap exception, it brings them up to $56m, all of which is knocked down due to Ike Austin's free agency.

    Finally, the Clippers aren't that low in committed salary; Olowokandi is their only free agent of note and with the salary they've added this offseason, there is no way they have dropped the $22m in total team salary.

    In short...while some of the numbers may be accurate, a lot of them are not.

    Hmm maybe your right. But I do know they already had Keon Clark's salary figured in on the Kings, so they should be up to date. Like I said, if I posted a link, the admin would probably delete this thread.

    The Spurs have a payroll of roughly 47 millions at the 18th. Robinson's retirement takes away a big chunk off it, still, I don't see them having capspace to sign FAs, barring expiration of other contracts. Why are those Spurs fans talking about signing quality FAs after D-Rob's retirement?

    Because just about everyone else's contract is up after next year, sans for a few smaller deals - Parker, Claxton, Rose, Bowen, Ferry, and Ginobili come to mind. They'll have just barely enough room for one max free agent at this rate.
