Just a quick update after the Raptors signed DeMarre Carroll to a 4-year, $60 million deal.
Here I assume that Carroll's four year, $60 million deal is backloaded at standard 4.5 percent increases. That means a starting salary of $14,051,523. It could be set up differently, the most likely alternative being a $15 million flat salary. So note that the Raptors could conceivably have about $950k less available cap than I project here.
2015/16:
DeMarre Carroll $14,051,523
Kyle Lowry $12,000,000
DeMar DeRozan $9,500,000 (not including $600,000 unlikely incentive)
Patrick Patterson $6,268,675
Jonas Valanciunas $4,660,482
Terrence Ross $3,553,917
James Johnson $2,500,000
Lucas (BeBe) Nogueira $1,842,000
Bruno Caboclo $1,524,000
Cap holds:
Above roster, if de Colo is let go: $58,208,583
Projected League Levels:
Cap: $67.
