so technically you might be able to keep everyone and bump the bigger parts of their contracts into 2017/2018, but realistically, norman probably ends up costing us PG or galette (as well as culliver, but meh).

Why optimistic? A deal worth $12M per year over four years would usually carry a cap hit of $8M in the first year.

Garcon definitely would not get that much. Jackson might.

But I should revise this once the team drafts next week, and makes a few moves on veterans. The landscape will change.
