Salary Cap update following Dedmon signing - 7/12

Recommended Posts

Updated cap sheet for the 2017 - 2018 season following the Dedmon signing.

Kent Bazemore 16,910,113
Dennis Schröder 15,500,000
Miles Plumlee 12,500,000
Dewayne Dedmon 6,829,268
Marco Belinelli 6,606,060
Mike Muscala 4,807,692
Malcom Delaney 2,500,000
Taurean Prince 2,422,560
John Collins 1,936,920
Deandre Bembry 1,567,200
Diamond Stone 1,312,611
Tyler Dorsey 815,615
   
Jamal Crawford (stretched) 3,449,398
Mike Dunleavy (waive) 1,662,500

This assumes the full buyout of Crawford's guaranteed contract portion. We have no minimum roster hold charges because we have 12 players signed. This equates to $73,708,039 in guaranteed salary, along with $5,111,898 of dead money. This leaves us with $20,273,063 in salary cap space for this season, along with the Room Mid-Level Exception of $4,328,000. Curious to see if Schlenk plans to use the space or save it to use as an asset later in potential trades.

Next season I have it at $32,258,875 in cap space assuming a salary cap of $102,000,000 and assuming all options are exercised and cap holds renounced.

That is very nice change. Bring in Willie, Mac or Ja, and Ennis and call it an off-season.

Here is your adjustment. It seems it was not stretched  

Jamal buyout year 1 - 10,942,762 - year 2 - 2,304,226

So to simplify, they chose to eat Crawford's salary this year because they had the space and to free up space for free agency next year.  They now have $9.945 million in cap space with 2 roster spaces available.

I thought only about $3m of Crawford's salary was guaranteed.  Does the entire amount still go against the cap whether they pay him or not?  Is this a sneaky way of dropping below the cap minimum? Or was all of Crawford's money guaranteed?

Here is what I said in the Crawford buyout thread - the $3m you are referencing is only for the 2018-2019 season.

Hawks and Crawford agreed to a "buyout" of his contract to allow him to become a free agent. In the buyout arrangement, we agree to pay him only $13.2m of his $17.2m guaranteed contract over 2-years. This is ~76% of his guaranteed contract, so his cap hit this year will only be ~76% of what his 2017-2018 salary was supposed to be, which is where the $10,942,762 cap hit in 2017-2018 comes from. Next year, it will only be $2,304,2226 as a cap hit since he only had $3,000,000 guaranteed for the 2018-2019 season.

The cool thing for the players on the roster, is that if the Hawks stay below the minimum threshold, they still have to pay up to the floor minimum.  That means the players on the current roster will get some extra cash in their pockets, despite it not counting against the cap.  And with it being dished out in equal parts, the players making the least will appreciate the extra cash the most.

Diamond Stone might buy him a couple of extra karats.

This season will test FiveThirtyEight's CARMELO Projections.  The Hawks WARP of their top 12 players (Diamond Stone is not listed in CARMELO Projections:

 

Kent Bazemore 0.7 WARP (1.0 WARP)

Marco Belinelli -0.5 WARP (0.6 WARP)

DeAndre Bembry 0.0 WARP (-0.3 WARP)

John Collins 0.1 WARP

Malcolm Delaney -0.8 WARP (-1.3 WARP)

Tyler Dorsey -0.4 WARP

Ersan Ilyasova 1.5 WARP (3.5 WARP)

Mike Muscala 1.1 WARP (1.4 WARP)

Miles Plumlee -0.1 WARP (-0.2 WARP)

Taurean Prince 1.0 WARP (0.2 WARP)

Dennis Schröder 1.6 WARP (0.2 WARP)

Dewayne Dedmon 1.7 WARP (3.0 WARP)

The combined WARP for the Hawks top 12 guys is 5.9.  Based on WARP projections, the Hawks have essentially a replacement level team this year.

Well, Crawford's buyout (I believe) counts and therefore they are less than $800,000 below the threshold right now. It is safe to assume they sign 2 players and will be above the minimum threshold.

KB, is there a theoretical win total that this translates to?

Doesn't this assume that players are playing the exact same role as before without any improvement in their play?

Actually, it is counting on regression in some of the players like Dedmon and Ilyasova while Schröder improves quite a bit from a 0.2 WARP to a 1.6 WARP player.

Why would Illyasova regress his 2nd year in the system?
