Oops. You're right.
I did my math without Harden's cap hold. Theoretically they could re-sign Harden to a moderate sized contract in the mid 20s and they'd be under the 2nd apron.
But the pipe dream has gotten even less realistic there.
I haven't been able to properly respond to your Caruso idea from earlier. But just because I'm tinkering with this George fantasy doesn't mean I think it's the best course of action. I think your avenue makes much more sense not only from a cap perspective but also from a chemistry perspective. I'm trying to work up a list of guys who I think would fit your framework and make sense. Hopefully I find the time to finish it soon!
