There will be only room for one max level guy. Millsap would only fit if he took a room exception or vet minimum salary after signing Hayward.

Also just to sign a max guy the C's would have to cut Jackson and Mickey, then let KO, Amir, Jerebko, Green, and Young. Got to remeber also that the Cs will also have to have a cap hold on this years draft pick as well as three or four minimum player cap holds for their empty player slots.

You're almost entirely correct, but they wouldn't have to cut Jackson.  He's partially guaranteed, and his guarantee plus the rookie minimum cap hold that exists if he's cut is more than his salary next year.
Who we would need to move to free up space would depend on the Nets pick right? If it's #1 then we'd have to move someone making quite a bit more I thought?

Good catch, SO. TP
