pretty neat in that it includes things like cap holds

Teams with the most cap space in 2010 (numbers based on a projected cap of 53 million, and include all necessary cap holds):

(assumes Dwyane Wade opts out and that Miami doesn't keep James Jones, who has a partially guaranteed contract)

New York Knicks: $31,428,263 Maximum Cap Space
(doesn't account for a potential Eddy Curry buyout or trade)

New Jersey Nets: $23,102,945 Maximum Cap Space

Washington Wizards: $17,966,184 Maximum Cap Space
(assumes Gilbert Arenas' contract isn't voided)

Chicago Bulls: $17,478,404 Maximum Cap Space

Sacramento Kings: $16,193,572 Maximum Cap Space
(assumes Kings pick up Carl Landry's team option)

Los Angeles Clippers: $15,145,512 Maximum Cap Space

Oklahoma City Thunder: $11,716,513 Maximum Cap Space

Minnesota Timberwolves: $11,649,391 Maximum Cap Space

it's interesting how many players we have NOT renounced! i'm waiting for someone like Roshown McLeod to be used in a one year sign and trade to make salaries match.

Wow, I'm interested in hearing Roy's opinion on this site. Would you put it above shamsports and hoopshype?

I haven't looked at it much; the best and most accurate site I've seen for salaries is this one:  http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=r0EIACYJtq4Wgjl-ZmYzRug&gid=4

This one offers some fabulous information, and if the salaries are accurate, it's going to be another "go to" site. 

On first glance, one thing I noticed:  They have Nate Robinson listed as a Bird free agent.  This is inaccurate, as he had to waive his Bird rights to allow the trade to go through.  He's a non-Bird free agent, so his cap hold is 120% of his previous salary (i.e., $4.8 million).

I suppose that is because we haven't been under the cap, so we haven't needed to renounce their cap holds.  Likely will never use them, but it makes sense to hold onto the option if there's no downside.
