You actually have to account for 13 spots before signing the FA with whatever is left. So, under your assumptions, you have to add another $0.9 in slot 13 and another in slot 1 and then sign GA with what is left.I´m not sure what the minimum for a 2nd round rookie/caphold was last year. I believe last year it was 0.65 or something. Double that and it adds up to 1.3 and you basically land right on 112.4. Those are all just rounded numbers. I´m pretty sure, if you nail it down to the last dollar it will work out.
If not, Brunson´s contract is non-guaranteed and that easily makes up the difference. We´ll have to give up something to get rid of Powell anyway, and a Brunson extension seems unlikely. Powell + Brunson+ (depending on how good/bad Powell looks) some sort of pick. That´s probably the laid out Giannis plan. I´m sure they have many other plans mapped out, but the Giannis one you can work out pretty easily.
