You would be able to use it on two or three players like Kyle Anderson and Hartenstein for example. Of course you could make more trades (Kyrie) to clear more or get a player that fits Luka better but I already made a long post about that.
I don't think that number is right. There is 30 mil between the tax line and the cap line. If it took us 10 mil to get to MLE, then it would be 40 mil to get MLE space. Regardless, we are not getting two or three players like Hartenstein. He will go for MLE at this rate. Either way, you are not rebuilding this team with 10-20 mil cap space. And you have lost most of your ballast for big trades.
